Services

Roger Morfey can offer a wide range of experience in designing and delivering
economic and social impact and evaluation assessments in different local and
regional contexts. There is no one impact and evaluation model that fits all and
each is designed, bespoke, in line with:

    o Current guidance on evaluation, IEF ‘logic chain’ and project appraisal criteria
    o Outcome and key performance measures and wider life-quality indicators
    o Area definitions and availability of official data and primary
       evidence-gathering
    o Benchmark assumptions, variables and HMT Green Book ‘additionality’ tests

Enterprise Surveys and Analysis

New primary surveys can be designed and managed that fill in gaps in knowledge
and enable local areas to be tracked against key regional trends and survey
questions. Private- and third-sector business surveys can capture data needed by
local initiatives and partnerships, such as:

     o Recruitment practices and views on long-term unemployed
     o Business procurement and supply-chain practices
     o Local premises, finance and business development needs
     o Micro-sectors (beneath the radar of standard industry definitions)
     o Community enterprise and entrepreneurialism

Skills and Employment Research

Roger Morfey has over 10 years of experience in skills and labour market analysis.
Action-based research and intelligence can be provided for practitioners that can
enable tangible results in getting local people into jobs. Research can get to the
nub of:

     o Understanding today’s skills, career-paths and sector entry-points
     o Employers’ actual concerns and requirements in recruiting local people
     o Learning progression cohort volumes by qualification level, skills and sector
     o Employer- and sector-based support for training and workforce development
     o Evaluation of labour market and skills initiatives and ‘what works’
