About Robert Hoke

Approach
Much of my work focuses on answering two different sets of questions, both gleaned from the work of Michael Quinn Patton:
- Are we doing things in the right way? Are we doing the right things?
- What? So What? Now What?
My approach to helping an organization answer those questions is to select a combination of methodologies from a toolkit of quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The product or deliverable of all this work is not only a paper report--but more importantly--it is the organizational learning that leads to better services.
