Case Studies

Real Impact Through Strategic Evaluation and Planning

My work transforms how organizations measure success and plan for the future. These case studies demonstrate how collaborative evaluation frameworks and strategic planning processes create lasting change for the communities you serve. From establishing unified measurement systems across multiple service providers to navigating financial challenges while maintaining focus on mission-critical populations, these examples showcase the tangible outcomes of thoughtful evaluation and strategic guidance.

Building a Unified Evaluation Framework

I created a unified evaluation framework for 12 Santa Barbara County organizations, enhancing collaboration, equity, and data sharing. This enabled better service coordination, gap identification, and a boost in funding success, for the participating organizations benefiting additional families within 18 months.

Strategic Planning During Financial Uncertainty

When faced with funding cuts from a government funder supporting services for children aged 0-5, I guided the process by co-leading a data-driven planning initiative to prioritize programs for at-risk children. By strategically refocusing efforts and strengthening targeted services, I helped reduce costs while ensuring financial stability. Within two years, this approach led to improved outcomes for the highest-need children.
