Together and individually Nan and Kate run workshops, provide coaching and mentoring and deliver training in Developmental Evaluation around the world.

Nan and Kate were the recipients of the 2013 AES Best Evaluation Policy and Systems framework for the Developmental Evaluation of He Oranga Poutama for Sport New Zealand. More recently Kate was a recipient (along with other team members) of the American Evaluation Association’s 2019 Outstanding Evaluation award, for a developmental evaluation. Nan and Kate work seamlessly together, drawing on their complementary skills, to tailor an evaluation, evaluative offering or training that is fit for purpose. Respecting the values of the those they are working with and paying attention to the context and history of the place and situation is part of who they are how they practice. Engaging in respectful and mana-enhancing ways characterises their practice. At the same time, they can be ‘straight-up’, when assumptions, actions or inaction need to be questioned.
