‘What gets measured gets done,’ so what if you’re measuring the wrong things?
A meaningful, ongoing Measurement, Learning & Evaluation practice (MLE) supports greater social impact by connecting the right quantitative and qualitative measures to your approaches, and cultivating learning loops that strengthen your ability to adapt, share back results, and learn along the way.
Since 1989, through countless assignments, we’ve seen how the right ongoing, internal measurement practice can deliver strategic and performance data that in turn informs decision making and accelerates traction toward organizations’ missions. We help our clients align around outcomes, stay accountable to success, and learn every step along the way.
