About Us

The Empiris Group serves mission-driven organizations, government agencies, and private firms through Lumalytics™—our proprietary method that integrates analytics, insight, and storytelling to illuminate impact, justify investment, and drive strategic decisions.

By engaging data with with three questions:

1. When does data become information?
2. What makes information meaningful?
3. How can storytelling build a neuroscientific bridge?

we are able to bridge the knowledge gap between empiricism and social constructionism. By engaging this method, Empiris is able to uncover the beautiful story behind your mission told by your data.

To that end, our firm specializes in working with high-impact organizations such as nonprofits, primary prevention coalitions, and grant-funded entities. Let us help you uncover the story behind your data! Contact us using the form below.

Have you ever sat through a presentation packed with data, only to walk away unsure of what it meant or why it mattered? That’s not a data problem. It’s a narrative problem.

Neuroscience shows that the brain is hardwired to respond to story. While raw data activates limited regions of the brain, a well-structured narrative engages both cognitive and emotional circuits—enhancing comprehension, retention, and decision-making. Story provides the structure our minds need to make sense of complexity. It turns information into meaning and meaning into action.

At Empiris, we don’t simplify the data—we structure it so people can feel what the numbers are saying. That’s the power of story. That’s the science of Numalytics™.

Numalytics™, our in-house proprietary methodology is grounded in neuroscience and designed to transform raw data into compelling, insight-rich narratives that influence decisions, mobilize stakeholders, and accelerate strategic outcomes.

At The Empiris Group, we believe that every dataset contains a story waiting to be told. Our role is to help you uncover and craft that story in a way that informs, resonates, and inspires action. In today’s funding and policy landscape, stakeholders and decision-makers seek more than spreadsheets. They need meaning. They need evidence of impact. They need a reason to believe in your mission.

Data storytelling bridges the gap between raw information and human connection. It transforms data into strategic narratives that clarify purpose, demonstrate effectiveness, and move people to respond.

  • Improve Strategic Clarity: Organizations that translate evaluation findings into narrative formats report a 67% increase in stakeholder understanding and alignment (SurveyCTO, 2021).
  • Accelerate Decision-Making: Data presented through story-driven frameworks leads to faster organizational decision-making in 60% of cases, compared to tabular or static reporting (Harvard Business Review, 2022).
  • Increase Stakeholder Engagement: Presenting evaluation insights in narrative form improves engagement with funders, boards, and cross-sector partners—tripling the likelihood of follow-up action (Forbes Analytics, 2023).

Whether your organization is in the public, private, or nonprofit sector, we help transform your data into a story that connects and compels. We specialize in primary prevention coalitions, nonprofits, and federally-funded entities. Schedule a consult today.
