Evaluation

Our program evaluation services offer objective information on government program performance plus much more. Managers have found our studies useful to describe the environment, activities, outputs and the effects of their programs. Our work is focused to support decision-making in the areas of strategic planning, policy design, and resource allocation.

PMN and its team have been extensively involved in the Canadian and international evaluation communities through volunteer work at the national and local level of the Canadian Evaluation Society (CES), presentations at events sponsored by CES or the American Evaluation Society, work with central agencies in helping federal evaluation policy evolve and much more.

Our research services are designed to support management decision-making through the investigation of discrete research issues. Our approach, derived from the social science disciplines, includes the development of study hypotheses, key concepts, and operational definitions. Design, execution, and analyses are built upon proven quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Based upon client needs and constraints, we provide state-of-the-art data gathering techniques including telephone, online, or mail surveys, focus groups, and simulations.
