Thomas Alslev Christensen

My services

Strategic advisory services for organisations where research, evidence, organisational strategy and public decision-making meet.

01

Impact Strategy and Advisory

I help organisations clarify what impact they want to create, where they should focus and how ambition can be translated into practical priorities.

Assignments may include

  • Impact strategies and strategic roadmaps
  • Advice to boards, executive teams and programme leaders
  • Theory of Change development
  • Organisational positioning in changing policy environments
  • Executive briefings and decision notes

Typical outcome

A clearer strategic direction, defined priorities, stronger leadership alignment and a practical basis for implementation.

02

Evaluation and Impact Management

I help organisations understand whether initiatives are working, how results can be documented and how evidence can support future decisions.

Assignments may include

  • Programme and organisational evaluations
  • Evaluation frameworks and evaluation design
  • Monitoring systems and data collection plans
  • Reconstruction of the Theory of Change behind existing initiatives
  • Impact assessments and management recommendations

Typical outcome

Credible evidence about progress, barriers and results, combined with recommendations that leadership can act on.

03

Research, Policy and Stakeholder Engagement

I help research organisations and foundations increase the likelihood that knowledge is used in policy, practice and public decision-making.

Assignments may include

  • Science to policy strategies
  • Stakeholder and decision maker analysis
  • Policy process and opportunity analysis
  • Engagement strategies for ministries, parliaments and public authorities
  • Models for sustained relationships with policymakers

Typical outcome

A more focused engagement strategy based on how decisions are actually made, who influences them and when engagement is most likely to be effective.

04

Facilitation and Strategic Communication

I design and facilitate processes that help organisations reach decisions, align stakeholders and communicate complex knowledge clearly.

Assignments may include

  • Board and leadership workshops
  • Strategy and priority-setting processes
  • Researcher and policymaker dialogues
  • Policy briefs and executive summaries
  • Impact narratives, speaking points and leadership materials

Typical outcome

Better alignment, clearer decisions and communication that is both accessible and supported by evidence.
