Helping to understand how change happens
We are a small not-for-profit consultancy founded by the authors of the Qualitative Impact Protocol, known as QuIP. This approach was developed as a simple and cost-effective way to gather, analyse and present feedback from stakeholders about drivers of change as they see them, including the impact of specific interventions. We support organisations to design and test theories of change, using people’s lived experiences to verify or challenge assumptions about how change happens. We are specialists in qualitative data analysis, using an approach called causal mapping.
Training & support
We run regular online and face to face training on all aspects of QuIP, from study design to coding and analysis.
