Mission-driven programs
Programs often track activity rather than outcomes, giving the appearance of progress without revealing whether real change occurs. This creates gaps in understanding how interventions perform in real-world contexts.
When measurement frameworks don’t capture what drives change, organizations face:
· Unclear evidence to guide decisions and comparable conversations
· Limited insight into where solutions are falling short
· Reduced ability to optimize impact and accelerate learning
I design measurement frameworks and protocols that turn data into actionable insights, enabling teams to track meaningful progress, identify improvement opportunities, and continuously optimize interventions for real-world results.
Use Case 1: Vaccination Targets Exceeded Early with Evidence Behind the Results
I built an outcomes-focused measurement framework alongside local implementation partners to accelerate vaccination uptake in a low resourced, highly hesitant community.
This replaced “we did a lot of communication” activity metrics with evidence about what was shifting beliefs and behaviors. It enabled the response teams to turn data into actionable learning, continuously refine their approach, and focus limited resources on strategies that produced measurable, real-world impact rather than just the appearance of progress.
The result? Over 28,000 adults were vaccinated in a 6-month period, exceeding the goal ahead of schedule.
Use Case 2: Clinical Guideline Adoption Accelerated with Strategic Measurement
I developed a measurement plan using quality improvement and implementation science principles to see how a new clinical guideline showed up in practice, not just on paper. It defined clear indicators for clinic use, partner adoption and adaptation, and the barriers and drivers shaping behavior over time.
By pairing simple, repeatable measures with structured feedback on barriers and facilitators, the plan helps teams a real-time pulse on implementation. It also helps leaders step away from intuition and anecdotes and lean into evidence-backed decisions about which workflows, roles, training, or guideline elements to change to accelerate adoption and reinforce its long-term use.
