REGENERATIVE MEASUREMENT & EVALUATION

Measuring capacity development

Capacity development is at the heart of many training programs and projects. We enable you to measure what happens within people, teams and organisations, and to make those subtle yet relevant changes visible.

Who is it for?

  • Program or project leaders who want to understand the impact of their work 
  • Creators and facilitators of training programs
  • Human Resource departments and leaders of internal change processes

What’s included?

  • Introduction to Unity Effect’s model to measure capacity development 
  • Access to resources and databases to measure the inner capacities of individuals, teams and organisations 
  • Co-design of surveys and assessments grounded in a regenerative approach
  • Support with implementation and analysis

Duration

Our support can range from short-term (to integrate measuring capacity development: 2-4 weeks) to longer-term guidance (your project or program length plus initial preparation and time for final evaluation).

Expected Outcome

You might have experienced this situation: after attending or facilitating a workshop or program, you and your colleagues feel that something has shifted. There is more trust and desire to collaborate, and individuals feel more motivated and connected to their purpose. 

Conventional approaches to measurement struggle to capture those shifts within people and teams. With our holistic approach and the models we’ve developed, we are able to: 

  • Measure and evaluate those inner changes
  • Deepen your reflection, both individually and as a group
  • Provide tangible results as a basis for decision-making

A central outcome of this holistic approach is that it supports you in making both your goals and internal conditions visible, with the intention to support and empower you on all levels of your strategic and team development.

Our Approach

At the heart of our approach to measuring capacity development lie: 

  1. Our regenerative approach to evaluation, with its emphasis on strengthening the capacities within individuals as well as the relationships between them.
  2. Our holistic model for measuring capacity development, consolidating more than 100 academic assessments and qualitative methods. 

The intention behind our model is not to tell you what to measure, but rather to make existing academic knowledge and practitioner expertise accessible to you. It provides you with the language to describe inner capacity development – the fundamentals for strong teamwork and achieving your goals. 

We do this by: 

  • Jointly defining key capacities that you wish to focus on in your team and leadership development, or within training programs you offer. 
  • Developing short and engaging surveys based on academic assessments to measure capacities relevant to you.
  • Supporting you with the analysis and interpretation of the results. 
  • Supporting you to embed capacity development in wider Theories of Change, strategic workstreams, and reports to external stakeholders.
Building on the benefits of the impact evaluation Unity Effect conducted for the programme in 2022, the organizing team pursued a similar analysis for its 2023 edition. This continuation permitted us to identify common trends and build on key recommendations, whilst also preserving the uniqueness of each edition and participant. The team continues to rely on Unity Effect’s expertise to adapt future editions.
