Evaluation

Evaluation is one of our key strengths, drawing on our broad perspective, our commitment to finding insights which clients value, and the easy-to-read, jargon-free, nature of our reports, which help clients to use them to open up next steps. In our book, evaluation looks forwards, not backwards. 

For Skills for Health, we created an evaluation framework for its ground-breaking Joint Investment Framework, a £100m joint initiative with the Learning and Skills Council, designed to focus training funds on NHS staff in the four lowest pay bands, who have seldom been a priority for workforce development. Working closely with a national steering group, we identified key success factors for the programme and a suite of measures through which progress could be measured – and undertook the first interim evaluation.

For SEEDA, the South East England Development Agency, we were sub-contractors to Arthur D Little (with whom we are partners on SEEDA’s evaluation tender list) in a two-year evaluation of the Emerging Technologies Programme, which aimed to stimulate partnerships between high tech firms and universities to create a sustainable stream of new products and purposes.

We have done more than 20 evaluations of regeneration programmes, typically funded through either the Single Regeneration Budget or the New Deal for Communities programmes, with projects in north, east, south-east, west and central London, County Durham, the Thames Valley and on the Sussex coast.
