I can provide a range of professional services for your organisation's next project. Social research: I can work with you to design your research study and develop the tools to collect the data you need. I have led field research with practitioners and local communities in a variety of contexts. If you already have qualitative or quantitative data, I can offer different ways of analysing it (if you have a specific methodology in mind, just ask). I specialise in developing research insights for your work, and in communicating research findings for different stakeholder audiences. Program design and evaluation: I can assist you to develop a strong program logic and outcome measurement framework, with clear, measurable indicators and valid assumptions. I have experience in designing and evaluating programs in Australia, India, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, with program strategies ranging from community development to economic empowerment. Using tested approaches and meaningful consultation, I can help to ensure that an evaluation gives you the program evidence you need. Knowledge management: I can identify strategies for finding, capturing and sharing knowledge between experts in your network. I have developed collaboration tools, and facilitated online and face-to-face events involving researchers, practitioners and subject matter experts.
