External Evaluation
What to Expect


So many questions


Listen, learn and align expectations
We start by listening—understanding your big questions, what's most important to your organization, and the change you seek, so you get the biggest bang for your buck.
While it’s tempting to skip this step, we know it’s critical to facilitate this conversation, uncovering a-ha moments for your team and ours. We leave with clear expectations for what the evaluation must deliver for it to be worth your time, money and energy.


Design the best-fitting evaluation
Evaluation is all we do. Our team has evaluation-specific training and stay up to date with what’s new, so you can feel confident that we select the most appropriate methods for your project. No two evaluation projects use the exact same methods. We tailor our selection based on what's best for the project, your budget, and timeline.


Gather insights
Each evaluation project typically combines three to five different methods—usually including one or two specialized methods aligned with your specific project—which together will gather the insights you need.
Our communicative project management style keeps you in the loop throughout the process, so you can relax and feel confident things are on track.


Make data sing
We collaborate with you to make sense of the findings, as we believe the most actionable insights can be found where our evaluation findings and your program expertise meet.
Our reports lead with answers to your most important questions, rather than burying you with numbers.
