Impact and evaluation

The most important piece of insight for any organisation in the arts and culture sector is what impact you are having in the world. Telling the bigger-picture story of your organisation or unpicking how a project changed hearts, minds or lives is vital to our collective purpose. But telling this story can be hard.

Capturing the data and evidence needed and then distilling it into a compelling narrative can often get side-lined in the flurry of reporting requirements or the excitement of moving onto the next project.

Luckily, we're here to help.

Impact frameworks

Are you drowning in measures and metrics? Obsessed with counting but wondering what to do with all that information? Struggling to work out how to tell people just how fantastic your organisation is?

An impact framework can help to bring together all the work you do, focusing your energy where it matters: on the impact you have in the world. By distilling your programmes of work, clarifying your stakeholder groups, and thinking about the stories you want to tell, we will help you create a simple and clear framework which will enable you to talk about your impact more effectively.

Whether you are communicating with audiences, seeking funding or monitoring your strategy, we can develop a bespoke and sensible approach.

Evaluation

We feel that evaluation is not just a reporting requirement: it's a chance to learn and improve. We are experienced in evaluations of all sorts and scales, from data-crunching multi-year datasets to developing distributed models of data collection for huge events. We will help you assess and communicate success and help identify ways to continually improve in the future.

Understanding your audience is so important. You need this - you need to be aware of your audience, their demographics, what they want and how they feel. If you have no customers, you have no shows, no venues. The survey is brilliant - it gives you all the answers.
