Organizations often struggle to identify what evidence is relevant and how to apply it to their context. As a result, many organizations are not meeting their goals - and often don’t know why. Ultimately, suboptimal results achieved from well-intentioned initiatives occur due to one or more of the following:
The wrong solution or strategy is implemented for the problem at hand and the desired impact isn't achieved. Organizations can prevent this by focusing on Problem Identification and tailored Solution Development.
The right strategy is selected but not widely adopted, does not work as intended, or the people who could benefit most don't engage.
Systematic Solution Development can prevent this, while rapid Impact Evaluation can identify how to adapt existing initiatives that aren’t delivering the desired outcomes.
Organizations are accountable to their funders or clients to deliver a range of outcomes. Successfully delivering these outcomes requires synergy across organizational activities, including Problem Identification, Solution Development and Impact Evaluation.
