People / Associates & Partners

Our global network.

We bring together in-house specialists and a global network of experienced associates and partner organisations to generate evidence, facilitate learning and support decision-making.

I spent a year working as a Team Leader with IOD Parc on an evaluation for a government client. They created a diverse consortium which brought a unique blend of technical expertise and country experience. Having never worked for IOD Parc long-term, nor with any of the team members, I was cautious about how this would play out. Within days, caution turned to optimism. IOD Parc set up the contract flawlessly, with clear work plans, team roles, and client engagement. Together, we navigated the work, and the team spirit flowed. The IOD Parc staff members working on the contract were high quality and dedicated. It’s rare to see this as a freelancer, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

How we work with groups of people.

We partner with organisations that share our values and our ways of working, and bring complementary skills and experience. Sometimes we take the lead; sometimes we follow the lead of others. We hold ourselves to high standards, whichever role we play.

How individual experts support us.

We work with people who bring deep contextual knowledge, relationships and technical expertise, with a recognition that some of the most useful evidence is grounded in local knowledge and lived experience.

We are committed to improving outcomes for people as well as in the work we do, including:

  • Proactively and continuously engaging with new and existing associates outside of immediate project cycles to nurture strong, authentic relationships.
  • Identifying and facilitating opportunities for emerging and early-career evaluators, particularly those with lived experience in the contexts in which we work, to gain hands-on evaluation and research experience through project work.
