Ilka is very professional to work with. She double checks the materials, makes sure everything is running how it should, takes initiative (eg. mailing inactive participants) and she definitely goes the extra mile. From early meetings to late night work and calls. The really nice thing about working with Ilka is that she thinks along with you and tries to achieve the best result together with you. Ilka is also nice to work with because of her positive mindset. She’s always smiling (at…

We are looking at the bulletins and are fascinated. The results nicely fit into the observations of the focus groups and our meetings – while giving an even more differentiated perspective on our customers’ opinions (everyone ‘gets a say’ and can phrase considerate responses). As you notice: I have become a fan of this method straight away.

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

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

These services have included very specific recruitment efforts, custom tailored facility preparations, translations and exceptional moderating.
