Collaborative Research Design
I design participatory, people centered research processes that generate data leaders can trust. My approach ensures research is purposeful, aligned with organizational goals, and reflects the voices of those most impacted by change.
What this can look like
Participatory action research to elevate stakeholder voices and co-create definitions of success
Mixed-methods research to identify facilitators and barriers to program, policy, or organizational effectiveness
Process mapping to identify bottlenecks in workflows
Evaluation and Meaning Making
I translate complex data into clear, usable insights that leaders can act on. Through facilitated meaning making, I help organizations identify patterns, set actionable priorities, and define key metrics to assess and track organizational well-being over time.
What this can look like
Facilitated meaning-making and priority setting sessions for teams and leadership
Needs assessment, evaluation planning, and design of continuous quality improvement systems
Practical, research-driven recommendations leaders can act on right away
Coaching and Capacity Building
I support leaders and teams in applying insights to real-world decisions and practice. Through one-on-one and team coaching, I help build internal capacity for reflection, alignment, and continuous improvement.
What this can look like
1:1 and team coaching using the Birkman Model and focused on behavior, perception, and motivation
Plan-do-study-act cycles to evaluate impact and guide continuous policy or practice improvement
Integration of scrum practice into cross-functional teams tasked with solving complex problems
Dashboard development to track ongoing progress towards measures of success over time
