Approach

Our approach is grounded in the principles of collaboration and communication. While we bring expertise in evaluation and applied research theories, methods, and practices, as well as subject area knowledge, we recognize that our clients are the experts with their program or policy. The success of any evaluation or research project, therefore, requires that we collaborate and maintain open and ongoing communication with our clients from project initiation through to completion.

Meaningful participation, ongoing learning, and reflective practice are fostered and maintained by the leadership of our senior consultants and commitment of our researchers and analysts to produce high quality work. When working with a Cathexis team, you can expect to:

  • Be involved in the planning of the evaluation or research project, as well as provide feedback on data collection tools, draft or final reports, or any other deliverables
  • Receive regular progress updates from the project manager via teleconference and electronic progress reports
  • Have a project team where the strengths of each member are optimized and the work of each member is regularly monitored to ensure it is of high quality

In addition, you can expect that all team members demonstrate our commitment to accessibility, ethics and privacy protection, and environmental responsibility. For more information on our policies and practices in these regards, please click on the links found at the top of the column to the right.
