1. Monitor who is impacted by your programme

On Makerble you can decide whether to collect

  • anonymous aggregate figures for the number of people who benefit from your programme and/or
  • individual details of programme participants.

When you use Anonymous Aggregate figures, you can still categorise them by characteristics such as Age, Gender, Ethnicity, etc.

2. Measure the outcomes your programme participants experience

You can create your own outcomes, indicators, outputs and KPIs on Makerble and add them to every programme they relate to.

Every programme has its own profile page that displays a snapshot of the outcomes achieved and the activities that lead to them.

3. Gather different perspectives to prove that outcomes are being achieved

You can hear from participants directly by sending them surveys. Alternatively invite your delivery team to complete surveys where they give their opinion on how participants are progressing.

You can also send 360° surveys on Makerble to the colleagues, friends, family members and professionals associated with each participant on your programme. These surveys allow you to collect and visualise the perspectives of other people which strengthens the evidence you have that the particular outcome has been achieved.

4. Pick metrics and questions that evaluate the extent to which change is happening

You can create your own questions on Makerble and add them to surveys.

Alternatively, browse Makerble to find a template survey to use.
