Research

Listening to those you serve to ground strategy.

At Alpenglow Partners, we believe the most powerful strategies begin not in the boardroom, but in the communities where impact happens. Our research approach is rooted in listening first — centering the voices of beneficiaries, partners, and practitioners to ensure that the strategy is steeped in the wisdom of the beneficiaries.

We go beyond surface-level assessments. By combining local insights with global expertise, we help organizations identify opportunities, surface risks, and design solutions that reflect the lived realities of those they serve.

​

Our Networks and Connections

Our research strength lies not only in our Principals’ own field experience, but in the significant global network we’ve built over decades of work across sectors and continents. We draw on trusted colleagues and partners from organizations around the world to help us identify local organizations globally — those often overlooked but delivering extraordinary impact in their communities.

​

What we deliver

Our research services are tailored to inform strategy with depth and credibility:

• Community listening: Participatory methods to capture authentic voices and perspectives.
   

• Landscape analysis: Mapping actors, initiatives, and gaps within a sector or geography.
   

• Partner identification: Finding and vetting trustworthy local organizations with a record of impact.
   

• Comparative assessments: Benchmarking opportunities across contexts to guide decision-making.
   

• Evidence synthesis: Turning data and insights into actionable recommendations for boards and leadership teams.

We bridge the worlds of rigorous analysis and lived experience. With one foot in global networks and another in local communities, we ensure that strategy is not only informed by data, but also by the voices and realities of those it aims to serve.
