Our Guiding Principles are informed by the American Evaluation Association’s Guiding Principles for Evaluators, but they speak specifically to the structure, content, and range of professional activities at Rosov Consulting. We view these Guiding Principles as an extension of the Rosov Consulting Values, as well as a guide for implementing them in practice.

These principles were developed and adopted in 2019.

Rosov Consulting has been a true partner to the foundation. When we launched, we knew our Jewish giving goal & geographic area of focus, but we didn’t know the “how” and the “who”. Rosov concepted an incredible plan that helped us hone in on evidence-based strategies & target audiences for maximum impact, with a way to hold ourselves accountable over time. They approached the work in a way that was clear, simple, effective and reliable – not just for my foundation but for the community at large. The result is a strong strategic framework that is already making an impact on our local Jewish community.

Our work with Rosov Consulting over the last ten years has truly embodied and expressed their guiding principles and values. Their teams have been a pleasure to work with and have exemplified values of transparency, integrity, professionalism, involvement, and empathy. Because of these values, we truly do see Rosov as a partner to our work and as an invaluable resource in helping us learn about and improve our impact, our program design, and our reach.
