Nationale Jeugdraad is an umbrella organisation for 37 Dutch youth organisations. To gain a thorough understanding of youth behavior and opinions, they conducted a survey among a large group of young people. As they did not have the appropriate personnel available themselves, they enlisted our assistance.

Approach

The data from approximately 600 respondents was provided to us in Excel. This file contained both the responses to open-ended and closed-ended questions. We analysed the responses to the closed-ended questions and delivered an overview of the given answers within a few days. We visualised the data in understandable graphs segmented by various demographic characteristics.

While the analysis of the closed-ended questions was completed fairly quickly, analysing the open-ended questions took more time. Three of our researchers collaborated in the AtlasTI tool to manually add one or more labels to the answers, thus categorising them. They also exported these categorised responses into an Excel file with graphs. These were shared with NJR within a week so that they could analyse all the results together.

Result

NJR quickly obtained clear insights that they could incorporate into their report. Because there was a tight deadline, we initially shared the results of the closed-ended questions. This allowed NJR to start working on the report while we analysed the open-ended questions.

Better public services based on a research cycle

Dutch citizens living, working or studying abroad must also take care of things like renewing their passports, arranging tax issues and pension with the Dutch government. This can be something of a challenge by being far away from the Netherlands, due to fragmentation of services, time difference and different situations. In a project which lasted from 2018-2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs therefore worked together with 12 implementing organisations (e.g. Tax and Customs Administration and RDW) on government-wide access to public services. The service is called Netherlands Worldwide (NWW). NWW is accessible 24/7 on the website, and direct customer contact channels such as telephone, WhatsApp and email.

A comprehensive understanding of the customer journey with Google Analytics and R

ONE Business websites allow users to buy subscriptions to various magazines. The online sales funnel can hereby be dynamically divided for each offer. For example, it is possible to give users free term choices or to limit them to a specific offer. Because the sales funnel is dynamic, it is impossible with the standard Google Analytics implementation to gain good insight into the customer journey. ONE Business asked us to provide insight into where people opt out and why. This will enable them to optimise the funnel for more online conversions.

Replacing qualitative researchers with AI, a good decision?

Artificial Intelligence seems capable of everything, and sometimes even better and faster than what we can do ourselves. Analysing qualitative data is a time-consuming task, and as researchers, we are curious if it can be done faster and easier. Does AI offer a solution for this? Our researchers investigated.
