Process:
Following off-site data gathering, independent, expert evaluators go on-site to meet with staff, board members, and other stakeholders, partners, and residents. The reviewers collect and analyze documents that demonstrate program and organizational capacity according to the following subjects whose acronym spells PROMPT™:
Planning multi-year strategic and annual operational planning
Resource Management: financial sustainability, resource development, and management
Organizational Management and Oversight: corporate/board/committee partnershipand governance
Management: Financial management/accounting systems and procedures; Contract management and compliance systems; Personnel management and administrative management systems
Production/Program Services: lines of business: production/impact/quality/performance
Technical Operating Systems: procedures, practices, tracking, data collection, and document systems
Our final product is a written assessment report with recommendations to build and sustain practices that support success and provide a framework for accountability. The full process typically takes 90 to 120 days from the initial provision of materials until presentation of the written report. The cost of an evaluation depends on the size and complexity of the organization and its programs.
