peripheral services

We have a number of partners who compliment our development and consultancy work. These include:
 
Training
We are able to provide a number of bespoke technical training courses to meet your particular needs. These can be at your premises for a large group or at remote venues for individuals. We cover everything from plastics, tooling techniques & types, closure systems, labels & labelling, through packaging design & development, to project management. Please ask for more information.

Market Research
We can organise, on your behalf, both quantitative & qualitative market research. This could involve product testing sessions, focus groups, ethnographic research, ergonomic studies, individual interviews and report writing. This adds a crucial dimension to Design Cognition’s capability to run creative workshops involving consumers, which help inform our innovation processes, test design concepts and generate better design solutions.
