Fostering Discussion about Monitoring/Evaluation Best Practice

Data, Evaluation, and Research

Hello all,

My name is Lauren - I'm a startup founder building a simple software tool for monitoring/evaluation. I've noticed queries in this forum category as well as other places about best practice for monitoring, evaluation, assessment instruments, etc.

I would love to contribute any expertise and help myself and my firm can provide. Always happy to jump on a call or video chat and help you strategize your assessment framework if you're trying to measure and prove impact.

Looking forward to sparking conversation and sharing best practice in this community! Best,

Outcomes and Evaluation of abcd.

Data, Evaluation, and Research

Hello all,

It's exciting to see this thread. I'm a founder of a small tech startup building a software tool for monitoring/evaluation and am happy to have conversations if I can support anyone who posted previously (though I know those posts have been here for a bit so I imagine other solutions have been solidified already). If any future viewers of this post want to connect, I'm always up for a phone call or connection to discuss your M/E strategy and see if I can help.

Best,

I've just sent Beth an email with this thread link to see if she's got capacity to be involved in these convos!

Otherwise, I'm happy to stay on the radar here!

Lauren, having a look at your website, we have a lot in common, by the looks of it!

Oh excellent!! Would love to connect further if you are interested in speaking sometime. Feel free to DM if you'd like to find a time to chat at your convenience.

Hi Joel and Lauren,

One of my Jeder colleagues, Beth, would be super interested in this discussion - I'll have to check if she's on here yet!

We also work across Aus and the UK and use Empowerment Evaluation, Results Based Accountability, Most Significant Change and more, depending on what's called for - I look forward to connecting you both up with Beth and seeing where this goes!

I love when you show up to gatherings, forum threads, and pretty much anywhere else, Dee.

Lauren and I are going to speak later this month about her offer to help me with measurement. I'm ready to connect with Beth when you're ready to make the connection.

Hello Dee,

I concur - I would also love to connect with Beth. My contact email is lauren @ fathomperformance.com if she (or you!) would like to message directly. Thank you for your message!

Best,

Hi Joel,

I'll send you a DM as well but I just stumbled across this forum and measurement/evaluation for social and community endeavors is exactly what my work centers on. My startup is building a simple software tool to make this easier, but at the crux of our mission and work is developing better frameworks and instruments to do what you're trying to do. I'd love to have a conversation with you if you're still working through your metrics and offer whatever perspective might be helpful (I do much of my work in the UK and Australia and both countries have done a lot of work in this area that isn't always as accessible in the States).

Let me know if you'd like to connect further (and anyone else who is also interested in this area, would love to meet you as well).

Best,

Lauren

Ideas, Comments, Questions, etc. for ABCD in Action

About ABCD in Action & How do I....?

Hello all,

I'm excited to come across a resource and community like this. My work is in impact evaluation and data mobilization, especially for grassroots and nonprofit organizations that need it to secure/sustain funding, etc. Is there a direction you can point me in that would allow me to contribute to this or a part of the forum/community that might be interested in that type of discussion/resource? I would love to be able to support groups with this particular skillset of mine if it can be of use, and I'd also love to learn from any current discussion on best practice in impact evaluation and data.

Thanks for any help! Best,

-Lauren
