About NSI
Our History
NSI is a certified Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) founded in 2007 headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Over nearly 19 years, NSI has completed numerous projects in both the government and commercial sectors. Our clients want insights and a rich understanding of the overwhelming complexity of people and their behaviors for various critically important and complex decision-making problems. Initially established to support the Department of Defense (DOD) in a wide range of national security problems, NSI has expanded its offerings to include decision science and data-driven solutions for commercial clients needing to better measure and understand customer interactions, sentiment, and service.
Our Vision
Enable clients to make more informed and better decisions on complex decision-making problems through our multidisciplinary data-driven analytics.
Our Mission
Create value for our clients by improving their decision-making processes questioning assumptions, thinking deeply, and generating clarifying insights.
Our Differentiators
Diverse Multidisciplinary Team
NSI is highly diverse and multidisciplinary. Our researchers and analysts have expertise in social psychology, statistics, research methods, economics, cultural anthropology, decision science, business management, predictive modeling, political science, international relations, communications, mathematics, computer science, and other disciplines.
Multiple Analytic Methods
Understanding people and their behaviors is inherently complex, ambiguous, and riddled with uncertainty. It is also not amenable to rigid analytical approaches based on a single methodology. NSI has significant expertise and many years of hands-on experience applying quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research and analytic methods.
Nationally Recognized Leaders
NSI’s leadership is comprised of nationally recognized experts with diverse backgrounds from premier government, industry, and academic institutions. They include current and former professors from top universities, former senior Defense Department and industry executives, and members/co-chairs of National Academy of Sciences studies.
