Innovating Program Evaluation

We design evaluation strategies that people want to be part of and learn from. Our interactive approach yields rich data and deep insights, transforming routine assessments into powerful learning opportunities. By designing accessible, enjoyable processes, we help organizations build lasting capabilities that extend beyond our initial engagement.

Data doesn't have to be a four letter word. (well it kind of does)

BOTN works to make evaluation engaging while helping clients understand the complexities and importance of accurate information gathering and interpretation in a hands-on, memorable way.

Experiential Learning & Shared Experiences

Creating shared experiences is like giving a team a road map. When our client’s staff engage in same activity, they build a common language and set of reference points to use throughout their evaluation journey.

Relevance & Accessibility

Our clients and the communities they serve are always part of the solution. When you include the people who will use or be impacted by an evaluation strategy in its design, you get insights that even the best outside expert might miss.

When people are part of the design process, they become champions who explain and support the strategy to others, making it more likely to succeed in the long run.

Thinking With Your Hands: Lego® Logic Model

Thinking with Your Hands: Lego® Logic Model workshops operationalize logic model development in a fun, inclusive, interactive, and equitable way. Using the Lego®Serious Play® (LSP) method, participants build outcomes and activities using Lego® bricks and connect them in an "if, then" framework that results in a three-dimensional relational diagram.

Don't Take Our Word For It

  • I have ADHD and after a while my brain goes somewhere else and comes back. The ability to do hands-on activities can help a lot.

    Workshop Participant

  • The Lego workshop enabled us to list out all of the things we do while categorizing and visualizing them. Doing so helped staff think things out and go back and read notes to continuously improve.
