Why Does the ROI Methodology Stand Out as a Method of Evaluation?

The ROI Methodology is a system for program evaluation. It uses a five-level framework process model and operating standards to capture performance metrics of various initiatives and programs.

The ROI Methodology generates up to six data types, from simple reaction data on a program to its Return on Investment (ROI). Each of these data types (called Levels in the ROI Methodology) has a clear decision-making purpose.

The ROI Methodology generates qualitative and quantitative data giving a comprehensive picture of the project to decision-makers. The information generated is used to make decisions like design, direction, and resourcing of programs.

The methodology is notable because it generates rich data from multiple perspectives of a program. Executives use the information to make a variety of decisions, not just funding decisions.

The ROI Methodology is distinctive as it provides techniques to isolate the effects of a program from other influences, a powerful feature of the methodology. Executives choose it, time and again, as they need to understand the contributions of major programs to business and strategic metrics.

The ROI Methodology is grounded in conservative standards. Tested and proven in the field over 40 years, the methodology has resulted in credible metrics and ROI reports accepted by financial executives and stakeholders.
