"I have always feared reporting and evaluation! My 121 with Susanne has taught me that I didn't need to fear it at all and in a way am doing much of it already. Susanne has equipped me with some great methods and a comprehensive toolkit which I am grateful for and ready to adapt to my next project. But perhaps the best take away that I have from my session, is confidence. I am ready to embrace the process and to step in with confidence. Thank you Susanne and thank you WWTP for facilitating this for us." - Maris Lyons, Freelance Dance Artist, Wales
"My relationship and experience of Susanne and her work tracks back to 2004 when she led the monitoring and evaluation for Youth Dance England as part of a DCMS funded piece of work looking at developing dance for children and young people across the UK. Her forensic attention to detail but also her clarity, adaptability and kindness made a lasting impression and so I reached out to her many years later when holding the role of CEO and Creative Director at Greenwich Dance when I needed expertise and advice around a variety of complex funding applications. I sought her out not only because of her ability to write powerfully and to interrogate my writing in a way that improved, enhanced and clarified my message - but also because I knew that her interrogation of complex accompanying spreadsheets of outputs and outcomes would also be interrogated with the same vigour. Her experience is so vast and multi-faceted and her networks span the sector. I feel safe when working with Susanne, knowing that her expertise will infiltrate the work, that she will provoke and challenge when needed but that she will hold and support all the while.” Melanie Precious, Executive Director, Candoco
I have worked on a number of projects with Susanne in the fields of professional development for photographers, community commissioning and photographic and curatorial research. Susanne has supported us in very practical ways, through the development of evaluative frameworks and methodologies, allowing us to examine the impact of what we do, whilst also asking important questions about why we are doing it, encouraging real reflection and self-criticality, but in a way which is positive and places value on learning for all.
Susanne brings a unique perspective, having worked in the cultural and HE sectors for over 40 years, she is able to see how knowledge transfer is critically a two-way process, and brings much insight into the needs of the sector, as well as deep knowledge of socially-engaged practice.

“We brought Susanne in to support with the monitoring and evaluation of a complex external project involving a huge variety of actors and her support was invaluable. She has a wealth of experience and supported us through the whole process of setting up a mechanism for evaluation: from framing the activities and understanding the multi-faceted ways an international network might reach its aims, through to developing a system for tracking and evaluating its progress which we can now take forward and use ourselves. She was also incredibly supportive to me and other staff personally, responding to our needs and requests, and providing supportive critique for our work. I would absolutely recommend and go back to her for projects big and small.” Rose Bernstein, Grants and Monitoring Manager, Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI)
