Why evaluate?There are many reasons why organizations evaluate their programs. The two most common are to engage in program improvement (formative evaluation) and to assess program effectiveness (summative evaluation). Many organizations want to answer at least one of the following questions:
*How are we doing? *Are we meeting our goals? *Are we doing what we set out to do? *How can we improve? *How effective are we? *What should we do next? Merit Consulting uses qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method designs to get the answers that our customers need. We specialize in survey design and analysis as well as focus group and interview facilitation. |
