Experience & Background

Patrick Kinner has more than 10 years of experience helping organizations collect high-quality data to improve their services and share their successes. He holds a vast background working with large health systems, state public health offices, and innovative entrepreneurs and organizations to improve systems and services across the human service spectrum. Every passionate and committed organization has a gap between what they hope to accomplish and what they actually accomplish. As an evaluation consultant, Patrick identifies those gaps to collect data to understand the causes and help use that data to change minds and turn heads. This can take the form of small-scale internal evaluation projects or long-term research efforts to test, validate, and publish theories of change. His work has been instrumental in helping organizations secure additional funding and partnerships, and in making major structural changes in initiatives when necessary.
