Brinkerhoff Evaluation Institute
The Brinkerhoff Evaluation Institute (BEI) helps organizations achieve their objectives faster by conducting thorough yet practical evaluations of the key programs that contribute to their success. For any initiative that requires new behaviors or enhanced performance - from a corporation’s employee training program to a social welfare agency’s client interventions - BEI helps quickly find out what's working and what's not.Unlike other evaluation services that can be costly and complicated, BEI uses highly practical procedures and quickly produces results that are credible, compelling, and actionable. BEI operates under the guidance of Dr. Robert O. Brinkerhoff, internationally recognized evaluation and learning effectiveness expert and creator of the Success Case Method – a highly regarded and carefully crafted evaluation approach that has been proven effective in dozens of organizations and has gained popularity worldwide.BEI's Core Services:• Conducting evaluations. BEI partners with organizations to provide program impact information that enables them to more effectively address their most pressing issues.• Training and capacity building. BEI provides workshops and other training services to build capacity in evaluation skills, tools, and practices. BEI also provides speaking and keynote services at conferences and meetings.• Driving alignment and a common vision of performance expectations. BEI helps organizations "see the hidden wiring" of how their initiatives work. BEI clarifies intended outcomes and shows the linkage among program goals, critical behaviors, and diverse job or work team contributions. This helps people get on the same page about who needs to do what to achieve success and illuminates program value to stakeholders.
