Business Diagnostics CanadaWe are a small Canadian research firm that undertakes a limited number of organizational diagnostic and applied research projects each year. We work selectively with organizations facing important decisions about people, systems, services or decision-making.
Independent ResearchCDR provides objective, confidential, and methodologically rigorous organizational research, delivered remotely to clients across Canada and the world.
Direct Senior InvolvementEvery engagement is led directly by senior research expertise, from the initial research question and study design through analysis, interpretation, and final reporting.
Every organization benefits from a clear and objective understanding of how its people, leadership, culture, structures, and operating systems work together.
CDR Business Diagnostics specializes in organizational diagnostics, workforce and stakeholder research, program evaluation, and evidence-based decision support. We help established public, private, nonprofit, and member-based organizations examine consequential questions about organizational health, employee experience, service delivery, workplace conditions, and performance.
Our flagship Business Diagnostic Instrument provides a structured assessment of organizational health. It examines the relationships among leadership and direction, organizational culture, operating systems, workforce motivation and development, workload and resilience, and employee and organizational outcomes. Rather than simply reporting survey results, CDR identifies the patterns and organizational conditions most strongly connected to the outcomes that matter.
CDR also undertakes focused applied research engagements, including employee and workplace studies, member and stakeholder surveys, occupational health and safety research, program and service evaluation, benchmarking, and analysis of existing organizational data.
Each project is individually scoped around the client’s actual question. Our work combines sound research design, quantitative and qualitative analysis, statistical modelling where appropriate, and direct senior interpretation. The result is clear evidence that organizational leaders can use to establish priorities, improve systems and services, and make better-informed decisions.
CDR works selectively and does not provide ongoing staff augmentation or high-volume survey administration. Engagements are discrete, confidential, and designed for organizations prepared to use evidence meaningfully.
