Committed to translating data into meaningful and actionable knowledge

Brad Rose Consulting is strongly committed to translating data into meaningful and actionable knowledge, so that programs and the organizations that host programs, can strengthen their implementation and optimize their results. We provide program implementers and funders with regular, data-based briefings, and with periodic written reports so that programs can make timely adjustments to their operations. Formative feedback, including data-based recommendations for program refinement, helps strengthen on-going programming and assures funders/sponsors that challenges are met in a timely and responsive manner.

Strengthening Program Effectiveness

Program evaluation is not simply about making a judgment about the outcomes of a program, i.e., whether the desired changes were, in fact, ultimately produced. Evaluation is also about helping to provide program implementers and stakeholders with information that will help them strengthen their efforts so that desired changes are more likely to occur. Brad Rose Consulting works at the intersection of evaluation and organization development (OD) so that it is able to both provide evaluation services for discrete programs AND to help organizations strengthen their ability to meet their goals. Brad Rose Consulting is dedicated to constructive evaluations that assist program managers, program implementers, and program stakeholders to strengthen the effectiveness of their efforts

Providing Feedback for On-going Improvement

Rather than wait until the end of a program to conduct a summative evaluation, we frequently work with clients from the early stages of program implementation to answer a range of questions that will help to strengthen and refine the program, as it’s being implemented. Real-time monitoring of program implementation provides information that indicates how well the program is reaching its target population; whether the program is faithful to its original design (i.e., fidelity) and whether program resources are being expended effectively. We emphasize formative evaluations—evaluations that gather data that will help to improve, strengthen, and “nourish” the program. Formative evaluations which are conducted during a project’s implementation, aim to improve the project’s design and performance. We provide program implementers and funders with regular, data-based briefings, and with periodic written reports so that programs can make timely adjustments to their operations. Formative feedback, including data-based recommendations for program refinement, helps strengthen on-going programming and assures funders/sponsors that challenges are met in a timely and responsive manner.

“I very much appreciate working with Brad. His insights and questions are extremely helpful in assisting us to design and conduct effective and accurate evaluations of our programs. Brad is more than an excellent evaluator. As a sociologist, he brings a range of experience and knowledge about the key issues pertinent to organizations. His experience with developmental evaluation is particularly helpful, because he is familiar with and comfortable working with programs as they occur in the real world, in real time. As you know, programs don’t happen in “laboratory conditions” so program evaluations need to be adaptive, flexible, and aware of programs’ real world context. Brad Rose Consulting utilizes a rigorous, yet realistic and flexible, approach to program evaluation. These characteristics are what distinguish Brad Rose Consulting from other evaluation firms that I’ve worked with.”
