Is your institution struggling to develop an easy-to-communicate economic development strategy? Do you have metrics that demonstrate the success of your initiatives? This session will provide an overview of the Balanced Scorecard approach to strategic planning for university economic development, which emphasizes performance metrics and allows universities to communicate their entire strategic plan on a single, poster-sized strategy map. We will examine metrics being used by research universities, universities with entrepreneurial programs, and community colleges across a range of economic development objectives. We will close with a practical, interactive exercise that will allow participants to begin developing their own Balanced Scorecard.

Introduction to project evaluations for SLOGA / TrialogInka Pibilova
This is a presentation form the workshop Introduction to project evaluations for SLOGA / Trialog held on 10 February 2014. It aimed at project managers who are involved in development education, awareness raising or develoment cooperation, to think how evaluations can work for them and what are the necessary steps to start...internal or external evaluations. Be ready for a follow-up! :)
Writing and Presenting a Project Proposal by Andile Andries NdlovuAndile Andries Ndlovu
A research proposal is your PLAN
It describes in detail your study
Decisions about your study are based on the quality of the proposal
Approvals to proceed by the Institutional Review Board
We will first find your project problem, and modify it for funding. hen we will cover some misconceptions before explaining main proposal parts. This explanation is general but is tailored for IREX HEP small grant program -per the guidelines of 2017.
This session answers the why’s and how’s of effective strategic design and illustrates the power of credible results measurement for meetings, events and incentives. Learn to use an approach that is effective with stockholders, employees, other key stakeholders and the media. Delivering measurable results answers the questions around your program’s survival, and, often, your organization’s success. You will take away tactics to:
Design incentives and meetings intelligently
Measure results credibly, including deliverable and believable ROI
Justify past and defend current programs
Successfully gain support for new programs

Success Beyond a Test: The Importance of Application in Performance ImprovementBizLibrary
Leadership came to you with a request for training. You organized a training session where the employees seemed to have learned something. You received positive feedback, and you sent them a post-training quiz. Job well done, right?
Not exactly. A study from Robert O. Brinkerhoff found that we spend only 15 percent of our current training resources on the actual on-the-job application that a training event independently yields. We spend the majority on the design, development and delivery. That means we spend more time designing what the training will look like than evaluating how the training is helping our employees in their job roles day-to-day.
This interactive webinar, brought to you by BizLibrary, will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
- What you should do before training begins to assist with measurement
- Ways to drive behavior change post-training
- Diverse post-training tools and methods of measuring behavior

MEASURING THE BUSINESS IMPACT OF LEARNING: WHAT WE’VE LEARNEDHuman Capital Media
The ‘Measuring the Business Impact of Learning’ benchmarking survey, conducted by LEO Learning and Watershed (on behalf of Learning Technologies Group) is entering its fourth year. With the survey launching on November 1st and closing on December 13th, LEO Learning and Watershed are holding a webinar to reflect on the results so far, plus discuss how organizations they’re working with have overcome the barriers in measurement planning and implementation. The insights are drawn from their group experience working with a range of clients in this field and should be valuable for anyone who wants to get going in learning analytics and sustainable business impact assessment.
Join your hosts as they cover the state of the world of measurement, and you’ll receive:
An understanding of how well-known organizations have overcome the barriers in measurement planning and implementation.
Real-world examples of how to get management buy-in, designing for data, building data ecosystems, implementing a learning analytics strategy and more.
The opportunity to take this years ‘Measuring the Business Impact of Learning’ survey, and see the results coming in live!

14. Project Example: Development of Measurable Learning Objectives and Post Event Questionnaire for an Annual Scientific Meeting
15. Overview: Excel Meetings & Events was under contract with a San Francisco Bay Area Pharmaceutical Company to assist in the development of measurable learning objectives for an annual scientific meeting and in the design of a post meeting questionnaire. This meeting brought together research scientist from three separate company facilities located in Silicon Valley, Alabama and India.
16. Overview: General desired outcomes for the meeting were stated as follows: Energized participants - Key scientists and engineers from all research sites will have an opportunity to interact, discuss science, think about the future, get to know each other and establish alliances that will enable success.
17. Stated Measurable Learning Objectives After the annual scientific meeting, research scientist will be able to: • Explain the process for implementing new research • Name three new colleagues you met with whom you can collaborate on your research • List three reasons you agree with the research funding for 2008 • List the three most significant things you learned in the poster session • Identify at least one science or technology the company should acquire or develop
