Say About Us
Ulrike’s evaluation was superb in every way. The project was complex, with evaluation needing to assess a wide range of varied dimensions. Ulrike and colleagues addressed the brief with rigour, care and attention to detail. What also impressed me was the way they reflected back complex data in a way that was digestible and quickly drew attention to the most important elements. Would definitely work with them again on other significant evaluations.
Tarek Iskander, Artistic Director and CEO, Battersea Arts Centre
Ulrike worked with us over 2 iterations of the Horizon showcase, producing an interim report and a final report for the project. Ulrike asked great questions and brought considerable rigour and insight to the process. She was quick to understand our complex and fast-moving project and its various stakeholders, and to identify the best ways for people to contribute their feedback within our budget. Her approach produced rich, constructive responses from interviewees, as well as key statistics and figures. The final report is a practical, detailed, structured and clear-eyed look at the successes and challenges of the project.
Verity Leigh, Programme Director, Horizon Showcase
Ulrike has been working with EEA over the last couple of years to develop an impact framework and evaluation strategy for the organisation. She has helped us to improve the quality and robustness of our data and to embed consistent evaluation processes, but also understood the challenges that we as an outdoor arts organisation face in terms of data collection at our events. She is always insightful, prompt, and robust in her assessments and opinions, which is a real asset for our organisation.
