At Global Research and Strategy Group, our goal is to build solid relationships with our clients, their success is our success. But don’t just take our word for it; here’s what our clients are saying about our professional service.
Ms. Syed and Dr. Steede offered to develop and implement a membership survey pro-bono. This involved developing multiple drafts of questions used to measure the performance of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, as well as distribution to our members. Ms. Syed and Dr. Steede were easy to contact and worked relentlessly to ensure the survey met the standards of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce. The team was and is also very reliable, it must be
noted that Nosheen and Leslie were able to adhere to the set deadlines presented at the beginning of the project, while simultaneously working with a number of other clients. As their services were offered to us pro-bono, it is most admirable that we were given the same attention and courtesy as other paid clients.

On behalf of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, I strongly recommend Global Research and Strategy Group to all in need of services surrounding market research.
Global Research has been our agency of choice for conducting the College’s public perception surveys for almost a decade. They are thorough, efficient and totally professional, delivering consistently on schedule and within budget. I was personally impressed with the high level of integrity and the discretion used even in the selection of their survey staff. It’s not just about the numbers and the product outcome with them; it’s a service – and they deliver it par excellence, consistently.
I have had the pleasure of working with Global Research along several fronts as a client and as a volunteer for their focus groups. I would describe them as enthusiastic, professional and totally focused on client service.

Dr. Leslie Steede and Nosheen Syed are making a difference in our community by their reputation for unbiased and reliable research which is often used to build understanding of this country’s needs. Both deserve credit for the undeniable good their work has provided Bermuda. I wish them well for the future.
During my tenure as Head of Marketing at Bank of Bermuda/HSBC and as Marketing Manager, Ascendant Group Limited, I experienced firsthand the value of the insights provided by Global Research. Regardless of the research methods employed – telephone/online surveys, one-on-one personal interviews, focus groups, or mystery shopping – the results from Global Research studies that we commissioned yielded practical data and actionable answers to, among other things, questions about customer engagement, competitive offerings, and the community’s appetite for change. In the process, I have had the distinct pleasure of watching the professional growth of Dr. Leslie Steede, under the guidance of industry veteran, Nosheen Syed, from a graduate student to a principal in Global Research. Knowing that he is one of many Bermudians who can credit Global Research with his income, is also noteworthy.
As an organization that tries to be data driven when making key changes as well as assessing the ongoing success of certain business lines, we have worked with Global Research to not only get the data, but most importantly get advice on what questions to ask. The quality of the information we got back was both highly useful and pertinent to our forward planning. It was extremely informative and had was statically sound representing the local market that we exist in. We can say without hesitation that Global Research is a quality market research organization, and the information that they have mined for us has been highly beneficial to our company.

At all times I have judged the work and services of Global Research to be of the absolute highest standard, clearly dealing and often going above and beyond the scope of requirements. I have found their work to be crisp, articulate and leading to logical and understandable conclusions.
Additionally, when asked to provide background or supplementary commentary, or elaboration on specific issues, further feedback has been promptly forthcoming and has added to my understanding of responses and specific subjects under focus.

We have regularly used Global Research data to make important decisions and will continue to do so in the future.
In our quest to get the patient’s perspective on our care delivery at KEMH, we chose the team at Global Research over other vendors, to assist us in gathering this important data. From the very beginning, they have been responsive, professional, supportive, and very dedicated to our organization throughout this entire process, from questionnaire formulation to data collection. They have spent time ascertaining the type of questions that we wanted to ask our patients and they have modified our questionnaire and our patient satisfaction results formatting (at our request) numerous times to meet our needs. They have become an integral part of our team and we feel very fortunate to be able to forge this positive relationship with them. For the very first time, KEMH is now able to receive statistically viable data from our patient satisfaction questionnaires since January 2009. We look forward to continue to work with this dynamic and committed team.
We engaged Global Research to perform work with our business and customer service teams to develop a strategy for measuring our customer service levels on both individual and commercial lines of business. They provided us with a comprehensive analysis and recommendation for how to approach our customer satisfaction survey and were both on time and on budget.
BF&M’s Business Team was pleased and impressed with both the methodology and people we dealt with throughout the project. Their knowledge and experience was extremely helpful as they guided us throughout our customers satisfaction survey process. They were very thorough and flexible in developing a plan that suited our needs and unique requirements. The planned work and process were spelled out in detail in our contract and the statement of work objectives and expectations were met in full. I was most impressed with Global Research’s flexibility in adapting to BF&M’s specific needs and occasional variations in project pacing. They showed professionalism in all dealing with us and the members of our customer groups that they interacted with. The resulting research results and analysis from Global Research has helped shape our customer service program and approach for the past 3 years. The resulting investments have given us a return on our investment. I would not hesitate to engage and work with them again on any similar projects.

The information has assisted with shaping the direction of our offerings and the way in which we approach the marketplace, including which medium to better reach customers.
I was extremely impressed by both the level of understanding and solutions offered by Sheeny and the team at Global research. At AS Cooper we wanted to learn more about what our customers thought of us and wanted from a first class experience both in regard to service and merchandise offered. Their understanding of our needs and the market we wished to communicate with was of great value to us and in fact drove several decisions resulting in what we believed was positive change for our client base. They spent time getting to understand both our business and strategic requirements and provided us with information that was easily acted upon.

I am very pleased with the outcome of a highly analytical project that I completed with Global Research.

The readers of The Royal Gazette rely on the editorial team to provide not only the news of the day, but deeper insight into how Bermudians as a whole feel about current issues. The team at Global Research helps the editorial team develop unique questions that probe underlying perceptions and attitudes—essentially “taking the pulse” of Bermuda.

They were responsive to our needs, always met our tight deadlines and provided results-oriented solutions.

It is rare that one encounters a company that is so accommodating and sensitive to the needs of its client. From our initial meeting with Dr. Leslie Steede and Nosheen Syed, each and every one of our concerns was carefully considered and attended to. Knowing that time was short to organize and conduct the surveys, they worked quickly and effectively and met our timeline.
We were also impressed with their frequent feedback and the professional tone of all their communication. What we found so impressive was their personal approach. Dr. Steede visited the School to follow-up and inquire how the company could assist further with the project. It was determined that an Executive Survey would be useful and a presentation to the Board of Trustees to allow them to ask questions about the results.
I am delighted to be able to recommend specifically the individuals mentioned above and the company in general.
Yours sincerely,
