analytics

In a world of exponential data explosion, it is of prime importance for businesses to effectively navigate through the expanse of data using analytics and derive meaningful insights. Our framework facilitates the holistic creation of insights by focusing on the following steps:

Step 1: Preparing the Groundwork for Evaluation

At the outset of planning we understand the different types of evaluations, what you expect to achieve and set parameters accordingly to avoid later confusion and encourage a shared purpose among stakeholders. Given below are the important aspects of this step:

  • Start to Plan Early
  • Define the Evaluation Purpose and Scope
  • Develop Realistic Expectations
  • Promote a Pro-Evaluation Attitude
  • Include Ethics and Respect for Individuals
  • Anticipate Evaluation Results
  • Identify How to Use the Evaluation
Step 2: Planning a Meaningful Evaluation

Here we begin the process of designing a particular evaluation tailored for your study, its objectives and strategies with the aid of a logic model.

  • Select and work through a program logic model
  • Think about theory of change and strategies
  • Consider a broad range of objectives to evaluate
  • Consider the best timing to find expected results
  • Involve relevant partners and stakeholders
  • Determine methods for monitoring program results
Step 3: Designing the Data Collection Process

Step 3 discusses methodology and means of collecting data about indicators of change and relevant factors in order to answer questions about program implementation and effects. More detail appears in subsequent steps like:

  • Deciding on evaluation methods
  • Seeking out data sources
  • Making data collection accessible and convenient for collectors
  • Gaining participant/parental support & protect confidentiality
Step 4: Developing Data Collection Tools

Here we decide upon the ideas and implementation process for developing new data collection tools, primarily survey questionnaires, to provide specific information for the evaluation.

  • Review the link between data collection and objectives
  • Determine relevant data collection tools
  • Look for model questionnaires
  • Modify existing questions to suit respondents
  • Write new questions (if required)
  • Pre-test questionnaire
Step 5: Collecting Data - Survey, Observations, Interviews etc.

Collection data primarily require ideas to improve the quality of information gathered for evaluation purposes. Hence we would have to:

  • Ensure access to necessary data
  • Promote and explain data collection
  • Provide appropriate training to data collectors
  • Provide adequate time and resources for data collection
  • Conduct data collection through focus groups, observations, interviews, questionnaires etc.
Step 6: Working through the Data - Analysis and Statistics

What to do with the raw data after it has been collected, how to deal with it physically as well as how to uncover patterns related to program impact by simple statistical or qualitative analysis ? Our experienced analysts and programmers are knowledgeable about methods of handling and analyzing data. The important aspects here are:

  • Drawing conclusions through Statistical Analysis
  • Protect and preserve the data
  • Review data for errors
  • Organize qualitative data in relation to the evaluation questions
  • Coding and data entry
  • Using statistics to describe data
  • Deciding about the inferential statistics
Step 7: Making Use of Evaluation Data - Inference by qualified Data Analysts

Inference is what we derive after the evaluation. Now it is time for the clients to decide on how best to use the results. The final stage would be a catalyst for action to identify the hidden opportunities. Hence we would:

  • Review results with the stakeholders
  • Respond to the results
  • Share lessons learned with stakeholders
  • Closing the evaluation circle


"Finding correlations in data is one thing. Understanding them in a way that allows you to build a new, better system is much more difficult. There needs to be a dialogue between our human intuition and the Big Data statistics."

- Alex Pentland, Director, MIT Human Dynamics Laboratory and Media Lab Entrepreneurship Program, blog post for HBR, Oct'12
