Are you taking a network or coalition-building approach in a program or community intervention?
Our team of network scientists and public health experts provides network evaluation services. Our network evaluation framework is informed by program and developmental evaluation principles and network science methods. We use it to visualize your network’s collective impact and generate actionable recommendations for quality improvement to inform strategic planning.
We consider both the structure of your network and the quality of your connections, with metrics like trust, power, reliability, alignment, and value to provide more insight into your collaboration.
