Welcome...


the kvgroup website is still undergoing revisions. The kambara-vickers group is a small, innovative consulting house that has capacity in market research, business strategy and development, E-commerce strategy, program evaluation, and grantwriting.

We have strong research and strategic capabilities, with in-house and independent contractors to draw upon for projects. The group's ethos is centered around a core belief that solid decision-making must be based on a sound conceptualization of the right issues and a rigorous empirical basis.

Our approach is to make research salient by not allowing it to be esoteric but applied and relevant.  In terms of our strategic thinking, we are disciples of knowledge management through the building and brokering of social capital.  Through networks and good governance, innovation and entrepreneurial approaches can boost profits without resorting to economies of scale. We specialize in measuring network diagnostics through social network analyses.

The kvgroup does not believe in high overhead and offers cost-effective solutions with a high level of sophistication and the ability to distill complex ideas into the vernacular, without relying on jargon or "black box" explanations. Because of the kvgroup's rigorous and deep methodological and conceptual capacity, we can stand behind our results and recommendations. We go the extra mile to provide trustworthy answers that do not go "beyond" the data and which properly match the issues and the research techniques.

Feel free to peruse our website and drop us a line if you have any queries, using the contacts below or our feedback page.
