About Us
Adroit Research is Australia’s leading provider of qualitative research and NVivo expertise to academics, the public service and beyond.
Our goal is to improve the quality and reputation of qualitative research.
We do this through our research community. We meet researchers where they are at and support their progress with the expertise of our Faculty. Through strong relationships with universities, research students can tap into the research expertise that they need, when they need it, to keep the momentum in their research.
We help universities to build and maintain their research capacity so that researchers have confidence in their research, and have the adequate research training and support that is needed.
“Research is too important to leave it to chance. By bringing together world-class expertise, we take research to another level”.

About Our CEO
Dr Jenine Beekhuyzen OAM is a Thought Leader with passion for entrepreneurship, research, and diversity. She is unique in the way she turns research into practice, having created numerous successful startups solving important societal problems born out of her research. This is evidenced by the decade old Tech Girls Movement Foundation, a not-for-profit that is creating future STEM leaders, clocking up more than 100 000 hours of STEM entrepreneurship to date.
Her most recent research on the Digital Divide, and the role of mentoring and role modelling in STEM and in particular, in CALD communities, broadens the diversity conversation beyond gender. To lead meaningful organisational change in diversity, equity and inclusion she runs the annual STEMfest conference. She is largely motivated by the unconscious bias built into technologies that are increasingly part of our every day lives, most notably AI. Her research helps her to run programs to help corporate boards to diversify.
Dr Beekhuyzen has more than 20 years of experience working with NVivo and its predecessors, using it for her own doctorate, and training thousands of doctoral students and others to use it for systematic literature reviews and empirical data analysis. She helps to fast track research in a transparent, rigorous, and reliable way. She does this in part through her online community, Research Central.
She has honorary roles at the University of Queensland, the University of Technology Sydney, and Griffith University. She has more than 65 peer reviewed academic publications, and, among other accolades, an Order of Australia Medal from Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to information technology, and to women.
