Dr. Andrew Feldman

Andy's focus is on helping state agencies use evidence and data to strengthen their results. He launched his consulting practice in 2021 and has since helped more than a dozen agencies, including in Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Projects include:

✔️ Launching PerformanceStat initiatives: ongoing data-driven reviews between state agency leadership and divisions, e.g., HealthStat, AgingStat, ChildStat and JobsStat.

✔️ Facilitating leadership offsites, including guided logic model development.

✔️ Evidence and performance management training, e.g., co-facilitating New Mexico’s Performance Academy.

✔️ Developing state-wide program inventories, e.g., Tennessee's inventory, spanning 19 state agencies.
