Program Planning, Design and Evaluation

Effective program development is fully informed by trends in the environment and best practices in the field, and leverages the lessons learned about what works and what doesn’t in your organization and local context.  Programs must be designed to fit your mission, organizational capacity, funding sources, and core competencies.  All programs should be designed with clear goals, outcomes, and measures.

It doesn’t have to be complicated.  In fact, it needs to be simple, so you end up with programs that work. Programs need to achieve results that can be easily measured.  We help you identify key indicators of success for which you can collect qualitative and quantitative data as part of daily program operations, using existing resources or systems.  If it becomes apparent that new systems are needed, we provide consultation on how to proceed.
