Measuring success
Enhancing the positive impact of public value organisations demands innovative approaches to assessing implementation processes and outcomes.
Across Australia significant effort is being dedicated to health, social, environmental and technological reform and innovation that positively impacts people’s lives. The need for evidence-based policy and implementation has never been greater as organisations strive to continuously improve and make informed investment decisions into what works.
Enhancing impact
At Cube, we create measurement frameworks and work with our clients to build an understanding of progress as well as the outcomes and impact they are achieving. Our sophisticated evaluation methodologies, quantitative and qualitative data analysis and expert stakeholder engagement and communication skills bring stories to life, craft compelling narratives and use evidence to support decision making and continuous improvement with real-time insights. Our team is skilled in developmental evaluation, program and project evaluation, lapsing program evaluation and strategic evaluation. Our practice encompasses a wide variety of tools and approaches, including logic maps, design modelling, design formulation, monitoring frameworks, reporting lessons learned, and benefits realisation. Our work regularly includes defining policy problems, identifying policy instruments, and addressing implementation requirements.
We ensure that our clients are able to understand both the value they are delivering and how they can enhance their impact in complex and dynamic environments.
