• “I have had the pleasure of working with the professional staff of Decision Innovation Solutions on a number of projects over the years. In your most recent work, I was once again totally impressed with the end product your team delivered. It was not only delivered on time, but even more importantly, the analysis and recommendations were solidly supported by the research that underpinned the report. Thank you for the work and thank you for the insights your team delivered.”

• “Decision Innovation Solutions’ (DIS) knowledge and background in agriculture made them a natural fit to help us quantify the economic impact and volume of the animal food industry. The team at DIS was easy to work with, knowledgeable and thorough. Their excellent work has provided us a valuable resource to educate lawmakers, staff and the general public about how the animal food industry supports jobs, builds the economy and about what animals eat. DIS went above and beyond our expectations by not only delivering the study, but creating an interface so we could easily break the data down into usable chunks of information about states and congressional districts. The research has proved invaluable for our state and federal government affairs work and we look forward to working with DIS again in the future. DIS delivers on objectives, is flexible and accommodating of customer needs and ensures the quality of their product is unmatched.”

• “Our organization has a large database that hadn’t been kept up to date for years. We knew there was a solution to modernizing it and we also knew that solution was way beyond our in-house capabilities. Since I had known Spence personally for several years, it was an easy choice to reach out to DIS for this project.
  
  After meeting with the DIS team and feeling confident that all of the appropriate security and confidentiality measures were in place, they completed the project as they said they would, within the timeframe and budget that they had provided. Maybe more impressive though, was they reached out to us as they were completing the project and told us that they had a come up with a few more ideas on how to make the project even more accurate if we were okay with DIS extending the timeframe for another week. Since our project wasn’t time-sensitive the decision to let them continue working was a no-brainer. We were pleased with how the project turned out and would absolutely work with DIS again in the future.”

• “Quality, timely data and research is extremely important in reaching our organization’s advocacy goals. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Decision Innovation Solutions through three research studies they conducted for us. In each study, DIS listened to our research and data needs and goals; asked questions; developed appropriate cost-conscious proposals; provided feedback; keep us apprised of the research progress; and ultimately provided an excellent finished product. The Decision Innovation Solutions team was also willing to work with us closely in handling media questions on the research. The results of our research have been cited repeatedly by other interested parties and the media. There is no greater satisfaction than sitting at a conference and having a speaker cite research results and data and knowing you played a role in that research. Research performed by Decision Innovation Solutions can make that happen.”

  Jay Rempe, Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation

• “In addition to the data collection, analysis, and presentation capabilities of DIS, I appreciate their ongoing efforts to match our organization’s research interests with other partners on areas of mutual concern. Our participation in and results from the Multi-State Land Use Study are a clear example; the information was insightful, helpful, and affordable for all parties involved!”
