For consultancies  

MBA helps consultancies to design and deliver evaluations for the UK government and ALBs that stand up to scrutiny and actually inform decisions—particularly in complex, high-profile programmes. 

​​​​

Whether its achieving Net Zero, securing sustainable growth, halting and reversing biodiversity decline, or making our streets safe, all these transitions require changes in the way we live and work alongside  technological advances. Addressing each requires significant and sustained government and private sector investment and the iterative testing, adaptation and scaling of solutions that embrace the complexity of the challenge. With decades of experience MBA supports consultancies and teams to design and deliver effective evaluations that are systematic, multi-disciplinary, systems informed, agile, and robust despite complexity and practical challenges faced to support effective action. 

​

For commissioners

MBA provides direct support and advice on evaluation strategy, commissioning and management to what works centres, ALBs and delivery agencies.

​

Commissioners shape the context in which evaluation is undertaken and used. Building on over a decade's experience working in research and evaluation commissioning and evaluation capacity building, MBA helps ALBs, what works centres, and delivery agencies to develop evaluation strategies and systems that generate robust evidence for policy decision making. MBA advises and supports with evaluation commissioning and management, generating tools and guidance to support commissioning, facilitating internal strategy and theory of change work that support strategy and programme improvement, and providing  realistic and pragmatic quality assurance of evaluation products.
