Designing for Success

At Qatalyst, we understand what makes for effective and impactful programming. We know what makes great programs succeed. We know what can get in the way of success. To help your organization map out the steps to a successful program, we will leverage the experience we’ve gained through hundreds of assignments focused on understanding program effectiveness and performance for clients in Canada and abroad.

What We Do

Our approach to designing and re-designing programs is based on getting to know your organization’s specific needs and operating environment. We work closely with our clients in all stages of the program design process, and can help you:

• Assess the need for programming
• Develop programming objectives
• Determine the activities that should be undertaken in pursuit of these objectives
• Quantify staffing and resource requirements
• Define monitoring and information systems

Our difference lies in our commitment to designing programs based on the best available evidence, taking into account lessons learned and leading industry practice. We often deploy lines of evidence like surveys to determine the types of programs, services, or activities that should be implemented to reach our clients’ goals. And with those goals firmly in sight, we develop program designs that can be implemented effectively and easily by program staff, helping you achieve the impact that you know your organization can make.
