Success depends on strong relationships, shared goals, and a collaborative effort that taps each team member’s strengths, motivations and ideas. We begin each consulting engagement with this mindset, working with you to craft a scope of work that addresses your unique needs and complements existing capacity.
We support teams in using tools like theories of change, logic models, and results frameworks to articulate your strategy's aspiration, practical approach(es), and key assumptions. This is a key step for your project's success: it ensures the design meets donor and stakeholder requirements, facilitates team formation and alignment, and provides a foundational asset for communications.
Definining useful indicators and designing the data systems to track them is complex. Our pragmatic and detail-oriented approach maximizes use of existing data, supplements with primary data collection when needed, and partners with your tech teams to design robust systems that collect and deliver information when it's needed for decision-making.
Your team is the most important ingredient in acheiving results. Whether you're kicking off a new project, restructuring your organization, annual planning, or pausing to reflect and learn together, how you gather and motivate your team matters. We help you plan in-person retreats, virtual collaborations, and other team engagements with fun, flow, and focus, so your team comes away energized and in-sync.
Sometimes you need an external resource to assess the landscape or make meaning of the data at hand. With fresh eyes and perspective, we bring data together and deliver insightful answers that help move you forward.
Every evaluation we design with use in mind. We assess all stakeholders and what decisions the evaluation will inform. From there, we develop an evaluation plan and protocol that addresses the key questions. We can put together an evaluation team that leverages your staff or is entirely external to deliver answers you need.
We work with leadership teams at all levels of an organization to define key performance indicators that align with strategy, set meaningful targets, assess progress and reflect on results to understand how performance can be optimized.
