Impact Measurement

This initiative is committed to evaluating and strengthening educational innovation through scientific evidence. Its central goal is to ensure that educational initiatives, whether developed internally or externally, generate measurable impact, inform strategic decisions, and contribute to more equitable, effective, and inclusive learning environments.

• During the last period, the initiative is focused on three priorities:
• Expanding rigorous evaluation within Tecnológico de Monterrey in close collaboration with key university stakeholders.
• Offering evidence-based consulting services to external universities and organizations in Mexico and Latin America.

Leading high-impact, socially driven projects that use evidence to transform lives in vulnerable communities.

At the core of this initiative lies a robust methodological framework aligned with international standards in educational research. The approach includes a structured impact evaluation model with four stages: defining the model of change, collecting evidence, reviewing and analyzing data, and communicating findings to stakeholders.

The framework operates across three levels of evaluation—results measurement, goal achievement, and causal impact—and uses techniques such as counterfactual analysis (RCTs), matching, theory-driven inference, and triangulation to ensure validity and actionable insights.

The area works in strategic coordination with core actors at Tecnológico de Monterrey, including the: Vice President for Academic Affairs and Faculty; Vice President for High Schools; Vice President for Academic Affairs; Vice President for Educational Innovation and Academic Regulations; Executive Vice President for Research; Vice President for Inclusion, Social Impact and Sustainability; and Vice President for Strategy.

Beyond its internal value, the initiative supports a growing portfolio of evaluations for external institutions, helping partners assess programs, validate results, and make strategic decisions. This outreach solidifies IFE’s role as a trusted source for impact consulting in higher education and social innovation.
