Evaluations

Information Edge evaluations are tailor-made to suit clients' individual requirements and meet specific information needs. We use well qualified, experienced evaluators who will plan a process that takes full account of stakeholder requirements, whilst working to an agreed timescale and budget.

Any type of activity can be evaluated, but the nature of the process will vary according to how the findings are going to be used. The first question to consider is: 'Am I simply seeking to establish whether something is working as intended, or am I aiming to improve it'

From this point forward our evaluators will work with you to understand your needs and develop cost-effective options for delivering reliable information to support your decision-making processes. Anything from a work programme or pilot project, through to a full training scheme or performance management system can be evaluated. Whatever the project, the Information Edge team will design an efficient approach to achieve valid, timely results.

The style of evaluation, summative or formative and the research instruments used will depend on our conversations. We can explain more at an initial meeting, but if you want to know more about evaluation terminology, then click here.

Why not arrange to talk with us. Information Edge evaluators are always ready to discuss your ideas informally to help you decide whether our independent evaluation service is right for you. We are confident that your investment will be rewarded by the knowledge that your business decisions are based on sound, objective research.
