The offer

Explain:
1-2 hour training session

Description

Short, focused sessions that explain a specific evaluation topic in plain language.

These sessions are designed to help teams understand what something is, why it matters, and how it applies to their work.

You’ll come away with knowledge, and importantly confidence, to take the next steps.

Focus

  • Theory of Change (and why people ask for one)

  • Evaluation planning

  • Survey / interview / focus group design

  • Choosing outcomes and measures

  • Evaluation reporting

  • The ethics of evaluation

What you’ll get

  • A clear explanation that makes sense

  • Practical examples linked to your context

  • Space to ask questions

  • Increased confidence to engage with evaluation conversations

Why this matters

If people don’t understand evaluation, it becomes something they avoid or rush through. Explainer sessions create shared understanding and reduce confusion from the start.

This is all about upskilling your staff.

Best for

  • Teams new to evaluation

  • Organisations being asked for a Theory of Change or evaluation plan

  • Staff who want clarity before doing anything else

Create:
Half-day / full-day workshop

Description

Facilitated, practical workshops where your team works together to create an output.

This sessions are designed to help teams work collaboratively and share their thoughts and ideas, so everyone can be involved.

You’ll come away with a draft plan, map, or output that you can continue to work on going forward.

Focus

  • Theory of Change

  • an evaluation plan

  • a set of clear outcomes

  • survey / interview / focus group design

I guide the process, structure the thinking, and help the group stay focused.

What you’ll get

  • A clear, shared output you can use continue to work on going forward

  • Agreed language and logic

  • Surfaced assumptions and risks

  • Strong foundations for evaluation or funding

Why this matters

Many teams know what they want to achieve but struggle to articulate it clearly. These workshops create space to think properly and turn that thinking into something usable.

This is about getting staff and stakeholders together to start creating.

Best for

  • Programme teams

  • Partnerships or cross-team work

  • Organisations preparing for evaluation, funding, or review

Review:
Ongoing support and guidance

Description

Flexible, ongoing support while you plan, deliver, or review your work.

Rather than one-off sessions, this is about having someone to think with as questions arise.

You’ll receive one-one support on your work, with personalised guidance and actions and direction to take away.

Focus

  • Sense-checking your Theory of Change

  • Supporting evaluation planning

  • Advice on data collection and analysis

  • Help interpreting findings

  • Guidance on literature or evidence reviews

What you’ll get

  • Reassurance and clarity

  • Practical guidance tailored to your context

  • Support when you’re unsure what to do next

  • Learning as you go, not just at the end

Why this matters

Evaluation often raises questions over time. Having ongoing support helps prevent confusion, loss of confidence, or rushed decisions.

This is about making sure you can stay on track in a way that suits you.

Best for

  • Small teams without in-house evaluation expertise

  • Organisations wanting to learn during delivery

  • Support for engaged individuals

For years, my professional life hasn’t just been doing evaluation, it has been staff training and development.

I am drawing from that experience with offers that are tailored to you.

These are still being developed.

The approach

If evaluation feels unclear or overwhelming, that’s not a failure. It’s a sign that it hasn’t been explained well yet.

My goal is to help you make sense of it, step by step.

My approach is to work together, learn from each other. I might know a bit about evaluation, but you know about the issues, your sector, and what can be done to make things better.

Examples, not terminology

I like to use everyday examples, metaphors, and case studies to explain complex ideas. This helps people understand concepts quickly and remember them.

Sometimes it’s best to learn from a story.

Active, not passive

Sessions are interactive. People think, discuss, test ideas, and apply concepts to their own work.

I might not have all the answers, but I want you to ask the questions.

Clarity, not complexity

If something can be explained simply, it should be. This doesn’t reduce ‘rigour’, it improves understanding and confidence.

I want to help you get the basics right first. Complexity comes later.

  • Yes. This work is designed specifically for organisations without specialist evaluation skills. You don’t need prior knowledge. I will start from where you are, not where a textbook thinks you should be.

  • That’s exactly why this support exists. Clear thinking at the start can save time later by avoiding confusion, duplication, or last-minute reporting stress. The aim is focus, not extra work.

  • I work with organisations who want evaluation to feel understandable, achievable, and genuinely useful, not overwhelming or technical.

    If you’re looking for complex statistical modelling or highly technical evaluation, I’m probably not the right fit.

    If you want evaluation explained clearly, applied thoughtfully, and made manageable, that’s where Impact Simplified comes in.

  • No, and that’s deliberate. The focus is on building your understanding and confidence so you can own the thinking and decisions. I support, guide, and structure the process.

  • There is no perfect Theory of Change or evaluation plan. These are working tools that improve over time. Getting something clear and useful is far better than aiming for perfection.

  • Maybe, but that’s up to you! Many organisations have one written down but don’t use it. Or maybe those that put it together have since left. Perhaps the bulk of your staff still don’t understand evaluation work.

    Support can help simplify, sense-check, or turn it into something more practical.

  • Yes, that is the aim. The staff development sessions I’ve found most useful in the past, focused on a real-life problem gave me something to take away and work on later. So I want to replicate that.

    All workshops and support are designed so participants leave with something tangible, not just ideas.
