Management Consulting, Planning and Policy Research

SPR has extensive experience in a wide range of management consulting applications and policy research, including:

  • Management Studies, such as SPR’s Review of the Program Integrity Vision, Mission and Mandate for Income Security Programs (for Human Resources Development Canada, 1999);

  • Strategic Reviews, such as SPR's Strategic Review of Youth Exchange Programs (for Canadian Heritage, 1998);

  • Organizational Reviews, such as SPR's Review of Ontario's Twelve Occupational Health and Safety Organizations (for the Ontario Workplace Health and Safety Agency, 1991); and

  • Database Development and Analysis, such as SPR's work in development of a training program database for Ontario's occupational health and safety programs; and SPR's development and utilization of a database for sports injuries (for the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation).

SPR's studies often combine a wide range of methods in sub-studies -- for example, a literature review -- coordinated with, or followed by, focus groups, surveys and database analyses.
