Transforming Millennials: How Parkland Health and Hospital System is Develop...HR_Exchange_Network
More and more employees are untethered. They function remotely using their own devices or appliations to work. Training must be digitally native and mobile in order to be effective for the next generation of learners. It has to be agile and accessible to fit into the active lives of Millennial employees. How and when Millennials learn is more important than what they learn. Why? Because the content won't matter if the interface is over-complicated.
Innovation Network's Veena Pankaj and ORS Impact's Mel Howlett share dataviz products that can be used throughout the evaluation lifecycle, including theory of change, social network analysis, data placemat, strategic debrief deck, H-form, visual report deck, visual executive summary, and timeline.
Pre-mortems are a process that help you proactively visualise, identify and mitigate project risk.
This deck sets out how and when to conduct a pre-mortem, and provide an example.

presented by Paul Mansell, MD ImpaQt Consulting
An overview of impact evaluation for organizations based on a program's Theory of Change, highlighting the need for a counterfactual and randomization (when possible) in order to convincingly demonstrate the effect of the program.
Kepner and Fourie Complex problem solving introChristine Aykac
Introduction of tested and proven Kepner and Fourie (KandF) problem-solving approach. KandF method proves the importance of engaging right resources with the right questions to identify the root cause of a problem, find a solution, and reach a consensus to resolve complex problems and rescue your project.
A Guide to After-Action Reviews and RetrospectsOlivier Serrat
Organizational learning calls for nonstop assessment of performance—its successes and failures. This makes sure that learning takes place and supports continuous improvement. After-action reviews and retrospects are a tool that facilitates assessments; they enable this by bringing together a team to discuss an activity or project openly and honestly.

This guide has been produced for Our Place areas who are implementing their Operational Plans, to support you to explore the reasons and uses for evaluation, and why it might help to add value to your work. It explores the principles that underpin robust (but realistic) evaluation, presenting guidelines that you can use to inform the development of your own evaluation plan.
This presentation has a vivid description of the basics of doing a program evaluation, with detailed explanation of the " Log Frame work " ( LFA) with practical example from the CLICS project. This presentation also includes the CDC framework for evaluation of program.
N.B: Kindly open the ppt in slide share mode to fully use all the animations wheresoever made.
Evaluation serves two main purposes: accountability and learning. Development agencies have tended to prioritize the first, and given responsibility for that to centralized units. But evaluation for learning is the area where observers find the greatest need today and tomorrow. A learning approach to evaluation looks to designing evaluation with learning in mind.

What is a Process Evaluation?
Process (formative) evaluations are aimed at enhancing your program by understanding it more fully, and whether it is functioning as intended.
Process evaluations study what is being done, and for whom these services are provided

Evaluators often distinguish between process/implementation/formative vs. outcome/impact/summative evaluations.
School of Management
Process vs. Outcome Evaluation
Process (Formative) – program managers, front-line staff, program designers, evaluation professionals and other internal and external entities focused on wanting to know why the program (or class of programs) is or is not working and what sort of program adaptations are appropriate.
Outcome (Summative) measures – legislators, accounting entities, interest groups, other levels of government, and other external entities focused on accountability or accreditation.
Evaluators often distinguish between: process or implementation (formative) vs. outcome or impact (summative):

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. WE CAN’T DO DEVELOPMENT
WITHOUT IT
Development often involves working with scarce resources in
uncertain and risky environments. To spend these resources
wisely, we have to understand what works, what doesn’t work
– and why.
That’s why good evaluation is essential. It is a systematic
process to assess the value of our activities and learn from
them to inform future decisions.

3. 2
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAIL
Some evaluations make broad statements
about ‘success’.
Good evaluations go beyond this and ask:
what specific changes occurred (both positive
and negative, intended and unintended),
how and, for whom? It applies transparent
criteria or standards to judge to what extent
the project was worthwhile.

Evaluation
involves everyone
Deciding who should do evaluation depends on
time, resources available and the purpose of
the evaluation. It is often undertaken by skilled
external consultants or in-house specialists,
but project staff, funders, participants and
beneficiaries all all play an essential role.
Good evaluation has the potential to give people
a real say in the decisions that affect their lives.

Monitoring and evaluation
are not the same thing
Although interlinked, they are two distinct processes.
Monitoring is an ongoing system of gathering information and tracking
project performance. Indicators are used to measure progress and
if a project is on track to achieve the desired results.
Evaluation aims to assess the overall relevance, efficiency, effectiveness,
sustainability or impact of the project design, implementation and
outcomes in order to support decisions about what to do next.

6. ‘Failures’ are
important
Evaluation is sometimes driven
by desire to show that a project
was successful or worthwhile.
Yet evaluations will almost always
show mixed results. Understanding
and sharing what doesn’t work
is just as important as what does.

Evaluations come in
all shapes and sizes
There are different types of evaluation for different
purposes. Common types include: impact evaluation,
performance assessment, economic evaluation, and
process evaluation. They can be short or long term
and be done by one person or entire teams.
There is also no one best method for evaluation.
Evaluations often use a combination of methods to gather,
analyse and interpret information. Deciding which method
will depend on the evaluation purpose, the context,
and the resources and information available.

8. 7
Evaluation is
question-driven
Credible, question-led evaluation will show mixed
results and recognising this is an important part
of the learning process.
Begin by asking questions about the purpose and
scope of the evaluation: what needs to be evaluated?
Who needs the information? Why do they need it?
What data or resources are available?
Then, identify the specific evaluation questions.
Four types of question should drive the process:
Causal
questions
What caused or affected
this change and what was
the role of the intervention
in causing the change??

CONTEXT IS
PARAMOUNT
Evaluation must take social,
cultural, economic and political
contexts into account. Crucially,
what works in one context may
not be replicable in another.

EXAMPLE
To replicate the success of an
initiative in Tanzania that saw an
increase in crop yield, the evaluation
must consider external factors such
as weather patterns, local attitudes,
or government incentives for using

It is not just
at the end
Evaluation can take place in formal and informal settings
throughout a project’s life, not just at the end. Informal
evaluations can be undertaken on a daily basis, during the
researching, designing, managing or administrating of a project.
The more evaluation questions and processes are integrated
into a project, the more useful evaluation systems will become.
In complex initiatives, evaluation should be planned and
undertaken by evaluators from the outset, so that learning
is fed back into the project design and implementation.

Findings need to
be communicated
Findings inform what happens next in a project and can
influence broader policy decisions. You can encourage
people to use the evaluation’s findings by involving them
in the evaluation process. Making reports publicly available
can also help others to improve practice.
Evaluators can use multiple formats to effectively communicate
findings to different groups, from infographics and multimedia
to community theatre.
