Measuring the Impact Workshop

Return on Experience

How do you measure the value experienced by students, faculty and staff - improvements in how they think, feel and can use a system?

Why Measure?

The Need to Demonstrate Value

Organizations are increasingly turning to data to make decisions, to set priorities and to allocate available resources. This puts greater demands on design professionals to articulate what they deliver, including:

  • Evaluating what, where and how design changes can deliver value to the organization and its end users.

  • Supporting a learning organization with evaluation data to inform the products/services strategy, priorities and design decisions.

Building Evaluation Design Capabilities

Design organizations are well-positioned to add evaluation methods and reporting to their existing practices because they work closely with end users through research.

Using the ROE framework, an Evaluation Designer will take research data and design an evaluation strategy for the project that maps to the organization’s values. Collaborating with stakeholders, a plan will be developed of what to measure, when and how. 

Align with Partners

Identify where Experience Designers can engage with change initiatives to maximize value and impact for end users.
