Our Approach

We improve processes and outcomes through:

Pivot works with program staff to develop and manage accountability measures that are realistic and attainable. Multi-level analyses ensures the evaluation captures unanticipated consequences and follows a 'big picture' direction. Qualitative and quantitative methods provide valid information for your decision-making.

Ethics & Standards

We seek to expose and challenge the status quo and violence that perpetuate inequity and injustice.

Pivot’s staff have always been interested in seldom-heard voices. These voices have guided questions in profoundly challenging ways. To foster modern-day solutions to age-old problems, Pivot applies the guiding principles of equity and social justice to every step of our evaluation process.
