Ilka recently conducted a patient research project based on patient mini-groups for my company. I appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism on this project throughout the research. The moderating was excellent, and Ilka’s skills and flexibility enabled us to gain in-depth insights.

Thank you very much for the eciting focus groups in Frankfurt am Main. As an engineering company it is extremely important to us to collaborate with an institute such as IKM, which can grasp the complexity of the products in our market and competently leads the discussions. I felt extremely well looked after during our first project together.

Ilka Kuhagen is an experienced and intuitive facilitator who listens well to the nuances while guiding the client or the project to its desired outcome. We collaborated with Ilka at the 2014 Creative Problem Solving Institute in a small-group workshop. Her astute questions and patient demeanor helped the team succeed in facilitating a grateful client.

Ilka was amazingly accommodating and hospitable. We had many unique requests and she took great care of us. While performing our Usability Research, she did a great job of getting to the information we needed, and her qualitative insights helped us immensely. I would love to have the opportunity to work with her again.

Ilka managed the German module of a major international qualitative project. Short time scales and the need for alignment in different markets meant constant changes until moments before the fieldwork. Thanks to Ilka’s professionalism, adaptability and attention to detail, the project ran extremely smoothly. They were well recruited and skilfully moderated groups – we would be very happy to work with Ilka next time we have an opportunity.

During my tenure as a marketing research professional at IBRC and the High View Consulting Group, Ilka has provided very effective qualitative research services in the various European countries. These services have included very specific recruitment efforts, custom tailored facility preparations, translations and exceptional moderating. I am very satisfied with the partnership that we have developed during the past eight years and I expect to continue this partnership well into the fu…

Ilka did a fantastic job with our focus groups around employee recognition in Frankfurt and Munich. Employee recognition is an usual topic to conduct focus groups on, but Ilka was able to pick up the topic very quickly and identify the areas to ask follow-up questions around. She was confident and experienced and clearly knew what she was doing. She was able to get us detailed information without us having to ask additional questions, and she was able to earn the attendees’ trust. Ilka…

We had a very efficient and pleasant collaboration with IKM. Thanks to Ilka’s professionalism, dedication and finesse, a French-German brand identity research could be very successfully and beautifully achieved.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ilka and IKM on numerous occasions over the past 10 years. She has provided us with a true partnership for all our international studies. She has done top tier localizing of all our our studies to work in the German, French and UK markets to gain truly best in class research results. Ilka is an innovator when it comes to qualitative methods and I cannot think of someone I trust more to work with in the industry.

When Rebecca first proposed her Think Global colleagues for a multi-country project, I was concerned about using independent researchers in each country  that were not as familiar with our business needs and our internal corporate culture.  However, after a series of discussions and conference calls between all research firms, the actual execution of the plan was seamless.  I not only experienced personal attention from the principal in each country, but each principal flawlessly aided in nav… Leer más
