In short: A report gets read when it answers the question the reader arrived with, and a credible impact story carries evidence and context alongside the human account.
A report nobody reads changes nothing. These pages cover designing reports for the people who use them, before-and-after transformations, executive briefings, and data storytelling that stays honest.
Organizations often have more workforce data than they know what to do with. Before collecting more, get clear about what problem you are trying to solve and what you need to know to make a change that matters.
A grant evaluation runs across the whole award, from the first question asked to the funder's annual report, and the plan can change when the program does.
An evaluation that finds a program isn't working is still useful, and there are honest ways to report it that protect the program and the funder relationship at once.
Working with an evaluator follows a known rhythm, and a good one starts from the records you already keep without judging the state they're in.
