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.
