Evaluation - SOCIUS Organisational Consulting gGmbH

Evaluation and impact orientation

Understanding what holds the (project) world together at its core

Our approach

We support you in capturing the impact of your projects and programmes and making it communicable. Using sound methods and a sensitive eye for your specific characteristics, we combine structured analysis with an in-depth exploration of the stories behind the figures.

We support programmes from their development stage onwards:

Evaluation setzt auf Zielstellungen auf - je klarer diese definiert sind, desto besser lässt sich Wirkung erreichen, nachverfolgen und erzählen. Wir begleiten bei der Entwicklung, in der Durchführung und nach Abschluss von Vorhaben.

We are looking for stories

behind the figures:

Numbers are helpful anchors of evidence of impact; stories, in turn, give numbers meaning and emotional identification. We are “bilingual” in terms of quantitative and qualitative methods, but above all, we care about giving meaning. That is why we rely on narrative approaches and spaces for joint interpretation of impacts.

We combine steering and learning

and legitimise:

Every evaluation is only as good as the formulation of the underlying interest in knowledge. We provide support in designing helpful questions, combining the internal utilisation of new findings with the external transfer and verification of effectiveness.

We pursue sustainable

Effect:

Where long-term change is required, the institutional embedding of projects and their linking to strategies at the organisational level is particularly relevant. As organisational developers, we focus not only on interaction patterns but also on the structural components of causal relationships.
