I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ilka Kuhagen at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)on a special competitive intelligence / market research project. Ilka did a great job of providing an insightful and concise summary of her findings that helped the client make educated decisions about their overall business and the direction to take it. She was a terrific person to have on our team.

As a fellow moderator, I really enjoyed seeing such a pro in action!

Ilka Kuhagen was our lead bilingual consultant of the Dermatology Quality of Life Measurement Design Team at Pfizer Inc. Over the course of a year-long multi-lingual measurement design project, she consistently met project timelines and exceeded all expectations for project deliverables. Her expertise with Internet-based focus group methodologies was essential for the success of our project, and her professional dedication was amply demonstrated, culminating in a journal article we co-…

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.

Organised, efficient and professional! We have a great insight into the satisfaction of our customers. Ilka and her team were invaluable to our project.

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.

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.

Ilka proved to be a wonderful full-service resource to support international market research needs. She produced on-target recruitment and had top-notch moderating skills getting to the heart of the consumer feedback. She exceeded our expectations with her hard working, smart and effective moderating of the age 18 – 24 year old market for the client, K-Swiss. She employed flawless simultaneous translators, who effectively kept pace from German to English. Ilka is a great partner in h…

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.
