Our theory of
change in practice.

Here's what it takes

Delivery

Deliverology: The art and science of getting things done in government.

Crafting good policy is important, but it’s only the beginning. Implementation is where the rubber hits the road, and it’s where a lot of good ideas (and even good policies) fail. We prioritize implementation, knowing the sooner you put your ideas into practice, the sooner you know how they perform in the real world.

Measurement & Evaluation

An unwavering focus on the the end result.

Leaders need a clear view of how their programs and policies are performing in the real world. This means defining and tracking metrics that matter, and using them to drive routine check-ins. Independent assessments can go a long way in building internal visibility, evidence-based policy, and public trust.

DA Digital

Great data and digital integration.

You can’t run a government without good tech. But even the best tech can’t run a government. Leaders need a digital plan grounded in delivery systems.

Delivery Institute

Capacity and community building.

The best leaders never stop learning. The best teams never stop training. We’re building a global repository of knowledge for a growing community of public sector practice, because we believe any team can develop the skills and structures needed to deliver on their agenda, time and time again.
