About the ROI Methodology
The ROI Methodology is a scalable and systematic approach to program evaluation. Using a process model, five-level framework, and operating standards to capture performance metrics from simple satisfaction scores to financial impact, the methodology enables you to collect appropriate data to report performance of a variety of initiatives and program types.
The methodology is a simple to use and proven process that will generate a balanced set of data that is believable, realistic and accurate – particularly from the perspective of sponsors and key stakeholders. To allocate funds to programs, projects and improvement initiatives that deliver the highest value you must have a method that credibly proves or “shows” the value. The process always includes a technique to isolate the effects of the project, program, solution, meeting, event, system, procedure, or initiative.
With more than 6,000 organisations across 65+ countries using this process, the ROI Methodology is the most used and implemented evaluation system in the world. The ROI Methodology not only provides the capability to evaluate program performance, it also improves the design of programs for optimal impact. A focused, proven and practical approach–the process is grounded in conservative standards and a cost effective approach to evaluation.
