Our Services
At Strategic Evaluation Insights, we offer more than just standalone services—we connect the dots between strategy, research, and evaluation to help mission-driven organizations achieve lasting impact.
Turning organizational vision into aligned goals, plans, and progress.
We help nonprofits and educational institutions clarify strategic priorities and assess organizational effectiveness. From refreshing your mission and vision to developing a comprehensive strategic plan with a roadmap and metrics, we take the time to understand your organization’s culture, services, and goals to identify actionable strategies.
Conducting high-quality research to inform direction and innovation.
Our focus is simple: customized research to maximize insight. Whether you need a pilot study, a randomized design, or a community-based collaborative approach, we tailor studies to your specific questions and context. With over 25 years of experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, we’ve led studies on organizational practices, educational strategies, policy impact, assessment validity, and cognitive abilities, among others—always highlighting findings you can use to make meaningful decisions.
Assessing programs and systems to support continuous improvement and accountability.
Do you need to know if a new initiative is working? Is your signature program continuing to create impact? Curious if your internal systems are boosting efficiency? We offer short-term implementation checks to long-term impact evaluations that ensure alignment with your mission through solid logic models. We design evaluations that meet funder expectations (from private foundations to federal agencies) while providing you with practical, evidence-based recommendations grounded in program evaluation standards, including Universal Design Principles and equitable evaluation practices.
Bringing together leaders, partners, and stakeholders .
One of the common threads in nonprofit and education work is that partners necessarily want to engage multiple stakeholders to include relevant voices - whether it’s strategic planning or a study of needs. In all of our work, we integrate practices that ensure we set the right tone and intention.
We also offer facilitation services for focused work sessions and complex issues, such as for a staff retreat or a coalition of partners. Facilitators are trained in Facilitative Leadership™ for Social Change and in Compression Planning® techniques for organizations navigating complex challenges, integrating multiple stakeholder perspectives, or planning ambitious transitions—whether you fund programs, deliver direct services, or engage in advocacy.
