Evaluation Principles
Globally more than £300 billion is spent per year on leadership development, yet many programmes rely on superficial feedback to evaluate their success.
We believe that effective evaluation of courses is essential to facilitate ongoing development and to help organisations increase their internal capacity to deliver effective leadership development.
Our evaluations are based around four evidence-based principles:
Useable Evaluation
Our utilisation-focused evaluations inform real decision-making: for partners, faculty, and participants.
Multiple Methods
We combine qualitative and quantitative approaches to give a richer view of impact.
Longitudinal Data Collection
We assess learning at multiple time points to measure sustained impact.
Embedded in programme design
We build evaluation into the programme design from the very beginning.
Bespoke Evaluations
As well as evaluating our own programmes, we have externally evaluated local, national and international leadership development programmes.
We specialise in tailored programme evaluations. We use a range of qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques as most appropriate for each programme. Whether it's a needs analysis, a start-to-finish evaluation, a post-programme evaluation, a series of interviews and focus groups or design of questionnaires and evaluation methods, we can find a solution to fit your programme.
Evaluation Lifecycle
Responsive adaptation in programme design, guided by live feedback and organisational insights, enhances applied learning outcomes, influences observable behaviours, and informs sustained organisational improvements.
