The biggest change is that I’ve restructured the services I provide. There are now three distinct packages that clients can buy — all still customizable, of course — that will help you achieve your data and evaluation goals. The graphic below gives a quick overview, but I go into more detail below:
BUILD YOUR EVALUATION CAPACITY
For organizations who are truly at the start of their data journey, this package is an ideal starting point. Your organization will get a customized training and follow-up technical assistance in the areas you need. The goal is for your entire team to leave the training with confidence that they can work with and use data like a pro.
CREATE A CULTURE OF DATA
The second package builds on the first and will include the custom trainings and support from Build Your Evaluation Capacity. After your team has been trained, we will get to work on developing data systems and procedures that are accessible to all skill levels. Depending on your organization’s needs, we will create simple, customized systems for data collection, management, or visualization that allow for sustainability and continued attention to data in the future.
MEASURE YOUR IMPACT
In order to truly tell your organization’s story, you must first know what impact you’re actually having. The third package gives you all of the benefits of the first two but will culminate in a full-scale needs assessment or evaluation. As this type of work tends to be highly individualized and ongoing, we will work together to design a package that fits your needs and ensures that any evaluative requirements from funders or supervising organizations are met.
If your organization is in the beginning stages of its data journey and could use some support, I’d love to set up a conversation with you.
