Measuring Change

The analysis of methods used to observe and record effects of changed circumstances or procedures within the individual, project or business venture. Two main approaches are: 1. the 'difference score' method, a before and after snapshot to capture the differences the change has made, and 2. 'growth modelling', which takes multiple sets of snapshots over time. Depending on the complexity of change and the degree of detail required, both methods may be applicable.
