Putting people at the heart of strategy and evaluation.
At Birchwood Consulting, we help organizations measure, learn, and grow through approaches that put lived experience first. Our services are offered in three integrated areas which are described below.
Our services
Strong strategy is the foundation of meaningful impact. We help organizations clarify their vision, set achievable goals, and chart practical pathways forward. By blending facilitation, systems thinking, and person-centered design, we ensure strategies reflect both organizational priorities and community voices. From theories of change to long-term plans, our strategies are inclusive, actionable, and future-focused.
Strategic planning
Evaluation is at the heart of our work. We design evaluations that meet funder standards while remaining flexible and accessible for real learning. By engaging stakeholders in defining success and combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we turn data into meaningful stories and insights. More than accountability, our evaluations focus on understanding impact and improving outcomes for people.
Evaluation
We don’t just plan and evaluate; we help bring ideas into action. Our design and implementation support ensures programs are feasible, inclusive, and grounded in evidence and lived experience. Through co-design, implementation planning, and capacity building, we partner with organizations to turn insights into meaningful practice, supporting teams to move from vision to action with confidence.
