Consultancy, Research and Meetings

Consultancy

At abdi ltd., we encourage our clients to build their own capability and internal accountability systems so that they can do their own impact measurement. abdi's consultancy services can accelerate this journey and complement the learning that takes place through workshops and writing case studies.

Some clients choose not to build internal capability in impact measurement. They may want the objectivity of an external evaluation. They may find it more cost-effective to outsource.

If outsourcing is the right solution for you, abdi should be your choice. No one in the UK has our level of experience or professional expertise in carrying out impact measurement and ROI studies.

We can provide you with expertise on all stages:

  • setting metrics
  • planning the evaluation
  • data collection and analysis
  • isolation
  • Reporting on L&D impact and ROI

Our cross-sectoral evaluation experience ensures efficiency, effectiveness and robust credible results. We guarantee confidentiality.
