WHAT IS METHODOLOGY?

Methodology, is a series of important choices:

• Choose what information must be gathered. If your research question is clear, we will KNOW what to gather.
• If your research question is not clear, we will help you to refine it.
• Choose how to analyze the gathered information.The nature of the research question determines the method of analysis.
• Descriptive questions call for descriptive methods, correlational questions call for correlations, theoretical evaluation calls for the evaluation of the entire theory and cost-benefit analysis of policies calls to find a method to conduct a cost/benefit analysis.

Other methodological choices:

• Practical and intellectual considerations when deciding which methodologies to employ.

For example: cost, time, resources, accessibility, qualitative vs. quantitative.

To measure is to know! A practical approach on a strong scientific foundation.
Feedback from your business processes are only useful if all the information are available. This information needs to be presented in an appropriate manner.
This makes it possible to pinpoint irregularities and start appropriate actions, contributing to a significant cost savings and cost control.

Indicators for measuring intervention impact, are often not designed for the direct measurement of changes in behavior, but for measuring changes in factors that influence behavior, such as knowledge, attitudes, etc. Especially within non-profit sectors, including the government, monitoring and evaluation (M & E) is still strongly influenced by traditional social sciences: much interest in internal human processes, and little attention to what this exactly implies in practice and if goals are being achieved.
A high-quality M & E system not only contributes to the achievement of intervention targets, but also for a much more efficient use of resources.

This can, especially nowadays, generate significant cost savings!
