Evaluation

Let's discover what your community truly needs, identify programs you can realistically implement, and create meaningful ways to track your progress.

We can help:

  • We create surveys that people don't mind answering and host focus groups that uncover what your community thinks—while respecting who they are and where they come from.

  • We use interactive activities to map program goals, activities, impact and determine how you'll measure progress in ways your entire team can understand, explain, and champion.

  • We analyze survey responses, conversation highlights, and organization data to find patterns and connections—creating reports that elevate real voices and experiences and make complex findings easy to understand and act upon.

We can help:

  • We'll review what you collect and why, match it to your capacity, and create streamlined approaches your team will actually use.

  • We'll help your team develop practical routines that make information trustworthy and easy to access when needed.

  • We'll uncover the gems hiding in your data and craft them into messages that move funders, partners, and communities to action.

Strategic Planning

We create strategic plans people want to use through processes that meaningfully engage people, draw out their best thinking, and transform shared visions into reality.

We can help:

  • We help you assemble the right mix of voices to guide the process and ensure your plan addresses real needs.

  • We take stock of where you are now through document reviews, honest conversations, and industry insights—uncovering your unique strengths, challenges, and what your community needs.

  • We use hands-on LEGO® SeriousPlay® workshops to help your team and community build a shared vision and clear priorities that everyone can see, understand, and champion.

  • We transform big-picture goals into specific initiatives with clear ownership, timelines, and measurement—creating a roadmap your team can confidently follow.

Facilitation

Let’s explore complex ideas, develop creative solutions, and make better decisions.

We can help:

  • We craft workshops that move beyond basic brainstorming to help you tackle tough challenges, navigate transitions, and build new capabilities together.

  • We use LEGO® SeriousPlay® and other hands-on methods to improve how your team communicates, solves problems, and makes decisions—combining everyone's best ideas into solutions that work.

  • We lead workshops that build your team's confidence with data, helping everyone see numbers as tools for insight rather than obstacles to overcome.
