Qualitative Research with Human Intelligence

Actionable qualitative research, analysis and insights made with Human Intelligence – for when the data is sensitive or insight quality is mission critial.

Sometimes using inhouse analysts or Artificial Intelligence for qualitative research, analysis or insight is not an option. This can be the case when handling sensitive data (e.g. employee data) or researching subjects with less, scattered or difficult to interpret or access data available on the internet (e.g. current state assessments, opportunity identification, new market studies). I specialize in fast analysis and actionable insights from (even very large quantities of) qualitative data, done fully by human intelligence. 

Processing sensitive qualitative data with AI can face legal restrictions or present reputational risks. Sensitive data can be for example employee exit interview or survey qualitative data, employee satisfaction survey open responses or performance review open response data. In addition, surveys about diversity, equity or inclusion topics or other especially sensitive data can require a third party analyst due to legal restrictions on what data can be even handled, for example data regarding identified employees or customers religion.

Mission critical qualitative data, such as qualitative customer data or market insight is another situation, where artificial intelligence is often not enough. When dealing with unknown unknowns, less researched topics, identifying quiet signals of opportunities or just the good old reading between the lines, human intelligence is more valuable than ever. The more money or reputation is on the line, the more important it is that the insights, conclusions and recommendations can be well argumented, documented, traced, and also be transparent  regarding the uncertainties they come with.
What we might work on
  • Joint interview or survey planning and analyzing for sensitive or mission critical qualitative data
  • Analysis and insight identification for the data you have already collected
  • External pair of eyes for validating or challenging your internal analysis and assessments 
  • Current state assessments, opportunity identification and validation research and similar research with a role to support business and organizational development 
  • Specific cases can be for example: different types of employee surveys (e.g. exit interviews, employee experience, performance review data, ), open responses related to customer feedback, NPS, CSAT or other qualitative customer data, service or product design interview or survey data.

What you get
  • Meticulous but fast analysis and actionable insights made fully with human intelligence
  • Easy-to-communicate summaries, conclusions and recommendations
  • Support for communicating and discussing about the results 
  • Professional recommendations for further or adjacent analysis or next steps based on the data

Time & Format
  • Time dependent on data quantity and time constraints (smaller undertakings are as quick as two days from order to completion, big rush jobs often completed within 5-10 days)
  • Results provided in agreed format (for example ppt/slides, xlsx/sheets)
  • Typically remote, but can be on-site and/or remote blend depending on the context

In-House Team Support

Strategic project support for when progress slows and the team is already stretched.

I act as a short-term, embedded strategic operator, offering senior-level support on the priorities that matter most.

This isn’t consulting in a traditional sense. I step in to work side-by-side with your team: shaping priorities, connecting dots across departments, and clearing bottlenecks though coaching, sparring and/or hands on operative work.

I use all the knowledge and ways of working that I have accumulated both from traditional large corporations and agile IT consulting firms. This means it’s not just about what I deliver fast and precise, but how we work towards it together: collaboratively, building on eachothers skills and capabilities, and working in a way that makes the workday more enjoyable.

What I typically do 
Translating strategy into conrete action, e.g.
  • Leading or facilitating the project, team and/or department
  • Reprioritizing strategic project portfolios
  • Rephasing and clarifying roadmaps
  • Supporting goal setting and follow-up on every level (e.g. OKR’s)

Restructuring or supporting internal projects with hands-on help: e.g.
  • Facilitating collaboration, decision-making, and advice processes
  • Redesigning or updating internal processes and policies 
  • Turning qualitative data into actionable insights and recommendations
  • Clarifying internal communications
What you get
  • Relief – for yourself and your team
  • Momentum back to your key projects
  • Actionable insights and advice, alongside hands-on execution
  • A high-trust senior operator who integrates and adapts to your style and systems fast

Time & Format
  • 1–5 days/week
  • Usually 3–6 months at a time
  • Flexible on-site/remote blend

Strategy Update Facilitation

Support and structure for organizations doing strategy work in-house, grounded in established strategy frameworks and adapted to your needs.

This approach works well for broader strategy work in small and midsize companies, startups, and nonprofits. In large organizations, it’s often used to support sub-strategies – for example business unit, product, marketing, or employee experience strategies.

If you don’t have someone leading your strategy work internally, this service can be combined with the Embedded Operator model – giving you support across planning, facilitation, and execution.

Some organizations don’t need a heavy, six-figure strategy overhaul. They simply need space, structure, and improved pace to revisit, align, and adjust the strategy they already have.

In a rapidly changing world, where market dynamics shift overnight, customer needs evolve quickly, and new regulation adds complexity, strategy work can no longer be a once-every-three-years event. This service is designed for CEOs, leadership teams, and internal strategists who are carving out time for this work, but want a trusted external partner to bring clarity and momentum – without taking over.

I begin with a current state and needs assessment to clarify what kind of strategic work is truly needed. Then, I adapt a tested workshop series to your context, coaching and facilitating as needed throughout the journey. The process is designed to help your team move forward together: uncovering internal insight, defining the external research still needed, and aligning your team around the most essential strategic choices.

The framework is grounded in Playing to Win, but fully adapted to your reality. If helpful, I also offer a complementary OKR workshop track to support implementation, helping connect your strategy to shared focus, team goals, and execution rhythms.

This service is not about off-the-shelf frameworks or heavy slide decks. It’s about using your team’s existing insight – and having the right conversations at the right time – so strategy becomes a tool, not a forgotten slide deck.

What we might work on
  • Revisiting your current strategic choices (e.g. winning aspiration, where to play, how to win) and assessing whether they still serve your context
  • Structuring strategy work that fits the realities of your organization’s size, decision-making culture, and pace
  • Designing and facilitating collaborative strategy workshops, from discovery to decision
  • Supporting the translation of strategy into shared focus and meaningful OKRs
  • Coaching CEOs and leadership teams through ambiguity, decision paralysis, or fatigue in their strategic work

What you get
  • A structured and paced approach to updating your strategy – without overwhelming your team
  • Clarity on what kind of strategy work is needed right now (and what can wait)
  • Expert facilitation grounded in Playing to Win, customized to your organizational context
  • Optional OKR facilitation to support implementation
  • Written outputs that reflect the strategic thinking and support further alignment

Time & Format
  • Typically 2–3 months
  • 4-8 days/month
  • Workshops, interviews, and joint working sessions on-site
  • Preparation, assessments, synthesis, and coaching remote or hybrid

CSRD Transition Support

Change and project management, communication, goal setting, action planning, and substance expertise on social sustainability at an expertise driven organization.
European Union's corporate sustainability regulation is changing in a significant way. The old Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) has been replaced with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This means that sustainability reporting is raising into equally important and transparent position as financial reporting over time and that sustainability will be reported alongside the financial statement every year.

In the upcoming years 40 000 more companies that operate in EU will report on sustainability. In Finland this means about 2000 companies that are new to sustainability reporting. First of them will have to start data collection already on 1.1.2025 and publish their first report with that data in 2026.

The transition for many companies will have to happen very fast and with high endurance for uncertainties and fast paced decision making. According to a study by FIBS ry,  at the moment only 1 in 10 Finnish companies that will be required to transition to this reporting have sufficient resources allocated to do so. Enzalgu provides support for select companies who need to enforce their internal team to lead these fast paced transition projects and the stakeholder management it requires with employees, management, clients and sustainability service providers.

Starting out with CSRD transition?

Checklist on how to organize around transitioning to CSRD compliant reporting if your company is new to broader sustainability reporting:

Organize internally

  • Name one leader in the board of directors responsible for sustainability reporting and the transformation project. Best practise currently is the Chief of Sustainability, or if there isn’t one, the Chief Financial Officer, since most of the upcoming new reporting is financial.
  • Put in place a transition team that has expertise (E, S and G + Legal) and allocated time (25-50 % allocation) to build up the process and practises inhouse with stakeholders and external experts. If you don’t have internal resources available, consider using external experts in internal roles to secure the transition and build understanding on what type of internal resources are needed in the future.

Get external expertise

While the authority for alignment and decision-making remains yours, having a partner significantly eases the process, workload, and schedule. Procure an established external ESG consultant company to help you do at least the following in compliance:
  • Value chain and double materiality assessment (arvoketjut ja kaksoisolennaisuuskartoitus) to understand what aspects, risks, dependencies and impact evaluations or parts of the value chain are relevant.
  • First version of the sustainability program, its objectives and measurements (this can be connected to your business strategy and combine existing strategies and measures)
  • Forming an operating model around leading sustainability in your organization and creating next steps for setting practices and tools for data collection and reporting.

Procure data tools and an assurance partner

  • Procure a data partner that has a solution for data collection and reporting that fits your needs and is CSRD and ESRS compliant.
  • Procure an assurance partner to get independent assurance and verification of compliance with reporting standards.
Do these two procurements parallel to ensure data compatibility. Test and learn with actual data.
