Turn your research into a visual summary
Visual summaries are the format we typically recommend for researchers who have qualitative data to work with.
In essence, they are a blend between text and visuals to support that text and bring it to life.
A visual summary is for you if…
- Your research contains qualitative data
- Your findings can be presented in a creative way
- Your findings can be communicated visually
Overall, the visual summary is less data heavy and more focused on the text and the narrative, with the visuals occupying more of a supporting role to stimulate the reader and keep them engaged. Use it to engage with policymakers, government bodies, end users, industry representatives and the media.
The visual summary is perfect dissemination tool for your qualitative research
A visual summary is a visual document that displays your research findings in a clear and appealing way.
Visual summaries are one of our most popular visual products. They make you stand out from the crowd and are a fantastic dissemination tool. You will always leave a copy of your visual summary behind when you meet stakeholders interested in your research or send it as an attachment in an email before a meeting or conference call.
