Ethnographic Assessment

Are you ready to build a more positive and successful long-term relationship with your community, constituents or stakeholders?

Meeting all aspects of the mission requires cultural alignment and understanding between the organization and the community it serves.  Our ethnographic methods systematically combine interview, observation, and documentary search techniques to fully describe the way of life common to a group of people, including their knowledge, experience, customs, beliefs, social habits, technology, arts, values, and institutions.  With Ethnographic Research and Assessment, Adder Group seeks to identify cultural attributes of your organization, community, constituency or stakeholders and assist in applying the learning towards building better communication and improving management strategy.

Adder Group’s Ethnographic Assessment service can be applied to:

  • Increasing active participation of a community or constituency
  • Understanding the perspective of local communities
  • Solving specific problems or addressing specific issues
  • Building community or stakeholder consensus
  • Reconciling organizational mission to community needs
  • Improving community relations
  • Increasing collaboration with local communities
