Matter of Focus

We support organisations and teams with their outcome, impact data and evaluation challenges. We work with organisations that make a positive impact in the world by inspiring, empowering, supporting and connecting with people. To-date we have worked with government departments, local authorities, health boards, public bodies and local, national and international charities. Our software OutNav and our consultancy support helps teams and organisations explore, map, analyse and assess the outcomes that matter to them, the people and populations they care about, and their funders. We help with evaluation, impact assessment, performance management, impact of commissioned services, and quality assurance. We use tools and techniques to bring together evidence, data and evaluation to ensure that projects and programmes can meet their outcomes, are successful and adaptable, make the biggest impact and can demonstrate that success to funders, service-users and other stakeholders. Matter of Focus was founded in 2017 by Dr Ailsa Cook and Dr Sarah Morton to bring their approach to supporting organisations to life.
