State Innovation Exchange (SiX)

Our Work:
Theory of change and evaluation design, capacity building, qualitative analysis, advocacy evaluation

Corona Insights was engaged by State Innovation Exchange (SiX), a leading support organization to state legislators, to help their Program Director create strategies, systems, and tools for monitoring and evaluation. Working closely with their Executive Team, we redefined the organization’s theory of change to focus on grassroots power-building, created a roadmap for building standardized data collection and reporting mechanisms across disparate programs, contributed to a key co-governance publication, and integrated new learning methods into team processes. Throughout our work together we have helped the team produce several case studies illustrating their impact on co-governance. In addition, we have standardized key data collection tools (surveys and interview guides) used within events, conferences, and cohort experiences. SiX has used these products to illustrate the organization’s vision for and impact on collaborative governance. This has helped them secure additional funding, and helped advocates and legislators visualize a longer-term and more holistic definition of success for state governance.
