Report Card: Evidence-Based
Organizational Development

You want your organization or program to be effective, efficient, and impactful. But how do you know if you are on the right track? How do you measure your progress and identify areas for improvement?

Our report card process gathers data from staff using an online tool, assesses the organization's degree of evidence-based practice, produces a comprehensive report, and makes targeted recommendations. As an independent evaluator, we objectively examine whether results align with your β€” and your funders' β€” intended outcomes.

Funders often require evaluation exercises like this to determine the extent their overseen agencies are evidence-based, use findings in the design of data-driven funding strategies, and disburse funds efficiently for targeted capacity building.

Our efforts focus on five areas of evidence-based organizational development and effectiveness:

1

Knowledge and use of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices

2

Demonstration of effective organizational leadership

3

Understanding of organizational culture and use of organizational assessment

4

Utilization of effective strategic planning, performance measurement, and program evaluation

5

Ongoing efforts to enhance organizational capacity and sustainability

Leadership & Organizational
Credentialing

Becoming certified in Evidence-Based Leadership (CEBL) or as an Evidence-Based Organization (CEBO) is the logical next step beyond the standard evaluation report card.

Joyfields Institute trains and guides organizations through the process of becoming certified under standards established by the EBP Society. The standards are driven by methods for systematically building leadership capacity and recognising the abilities and accomplishments organizations demonstrate in the area of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices.

Certification requirements are the same for all types of agencies and organizations. The following five areas are emphasized:

Knowledge and use of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices
Demonstrating effective leadership
Organizational culture and assessment
Strategic planning, performance measurement, and program evaluation
Building capacity and sustainability
Important: If you're attending any Evidence-Based Pathways training β€” live, on-site, or on-demand β€” we highly recommend starting the credentialing process alongside it, as the EBO Masterclass is a pre-requisite for CEBO certification.
Review Certification Options β†’
CEBL

Certified Evidence-Based Leadership

For supervisors, managers, and directors driving evidence-based cultures and performance across their organizations. The leadership-level credential from EBP Society.

CEBO

Certified Evidence-Based Organization

πŸ’‘ Tip: Both certifications are earned through the EBP Society. Joyfields guides you through every step of the process β€” from assessment to application to recognition.

Program Review
Service

Are you utilizing a training program you're not sure is evidence-based? Are your people running a program at your agency that you're not sure is valid? Do you sometimes wonder if a program you're considering is truly evidence-based?

Our review service enables agencies to have their training modules reviewed by an independent 3rd party to determine the degree to which they adhere to evidence-based frameworks.

We collaborate with you to review programs you may be considering or currently utilizing for delivering services, then summarize findings and provide existing research to support β€” or not support β€” your continued use of that program.
