RESEARCH AND EVALUATION
Getting the lay of the land before setting up a program, and evaluating it after it has been created. Building and implementing monitoring and evaluation procedures. Analyzing the environment and marketing potential before spending precious resources on a project. Paying continuous attention to how to improve a project once implemented.

EXAMPLES:
• For the Harvard Center for International Development and the World Economic Forum, researched and wrote chapter on technology for the Latin American Competitiveness Report published by Oxford University Press.
• Created evaluation process for Techfoundation's Geeks for America program
• Researched volunteer and technology programs for Geekcorps as well as the needs of local businesses and organizations on the ground in developing countries. Established extensive evaluation procedures that surveyed volunteers and partners via written forms and interviews to measure their satisfaction with the program. Revised program based on results of evaluations.
