Helping others to understand, maximise and demonstrate the value they create for people, communities and systems

EVALUATION & LEARNING AND STRATEGY TO HELP TACKLE SOCIAL ISSUES

Value means different things to different people at different times

Whatever your aims, understanding the value you are already creating or hope to create is a must. And to really understand value you need different types of evidence – including from research, professional expertise and lived experience.

When time and resources are limited, it can be hard to know what kind of evidence you need to collect and how to do it. Even when you have evidence, you face more questions and challenges:

What does it mean?
What can you learn from it?
How can you use or share it?
Where should it take you next?

The whole process can seem overwhelming and confusing. And so opportunities to learn, demonstrate value and bring about positive change are often missed.

I can support you to capture, understand and use the evidence you need to:

N

Find focus and prioritise your efforts

N

Decide what to commission or invest in

N

Make the case for funding or investment

N

Track progress and demonstrate impact

N

Design new services and test ideas

N

Improve and spread what you already do

N

Tell your story to different audiences

N

Understand what’s working, what’s not and why

… so that ultimately you can make a bigger difference.
