The Hidden Key to Data Success:
Data-Driven Evaluation

You may be thinking, 'We already collect data, but it’s not helping.' The problem isn’t the data—it’s how you use it. We can show you how to turn those numbers into a strategic advantage.

The Problem

Competition

Imagine seeing another organizations in your industry getting more funding, gaining recognition, and scaling—while you’re still struggling to demonstrate real impact. Can you afford to stay in the dark?

lack of Resources

Think about the last time you wished for more resources, better engagement or customer/participant life-cycle. Now, imagine having the ability to achieve all of that with less effort—by simply understanding and using your data better.

Time and Energy

Can you afford to be caught off guard by changes in the landscape? What happens when you’re asked to demonstrate the effectiveness of your programs on short notice, and you have no data to show? It’s not a matter of if change will come—it’s when. Will your organization be ready?

Theory of Change

We often face the challenge of designing programs based on a fixed theory of change, assuming that one-size-fits-all solutions will work across diverse communities. But this can lead to a disconnect between the model and the people it’s supposed to serve. If the assumptions don’t match the reality on the ground—whether it’s cultural, socio-economic, or geographic—it’s easy to miss the mark and fail to achieve impact.

Why it matters

Organizations with strong data cultures are 3x more likely to exceed their mission goals.

Process Evaluations

Various types of process evaluations (chronicle, compliance, translation, improvement, adaptive management) help address questions of context, fidelity, adaptation, and improvement.

  • Chronicle
  • Compliance/Fidelity
  • Translation
  • Improvement
  • Adaptive Management
