Measuring Stakeholder Engagement and Attitude to ChangeRobert Topley
One way to measure stakeholder engagement is using Change Readiness Assessment (CRA). This explains what a Change Readiness assessment is about and how to perform a CRA
A theory of change is a purposeful model of how an initiative—such as a policy, a strategy, a program, or a project—contributes through a chain of early and intermediate outcomes to the intended result. Theories of change help navigate the complexity of social change.

Scope or: How to Manage Projects for Organization SuccessToby Elwin
Organizations rely on projects to remain competitive. Projects are the way organizations deliver and realize their executive strategies. The ability to deliver a project is the ability to compete. Scope kills projects and projects that are not delivered kill organizations.
Design for complexity, using evaluative methodsAnn Larson
Programs can be designed to be more likely to be effective in producing positive change in settings that can be characterized as complex adaptive systems. This presentation describes what we already know about what makes programs more likely to be successful in changing behaviour. Next, it explores the organizational blind spots and human nature which prevent us from making better designs. Finally, it shows how evaluators can guide better program design using standard and emerging methods.
I'd like to share with you my experiences in managing stakeholders, this is just one example of how to go about it..
My chosen step wise approach is a) define the problem, b) fully understand the situation and c) lead discussions to gain consensus on the way forward and with stakeholder buy-in. I consistently worked across many organisational levels and boundaries utilising a variety of communication and negotiation techniques e.g. presenting the problem definition in written form, setting up a dialogue (e.g. conference call/meeting) to openly discuss and iteratively documenting options/conclusions to take forward for stakeholder agreement.
As an overriding principle I strongly believe that acting towards others in a way that engenders trust is a sure fire way of achieving the best outcome for all.
NB for the purpose of anonymity the roles and issue details referenced are hypothetical.
Change Management is a term that is often loosely used and confused. It is an everyday specialization that deserves niche attention in the strategic framework of an organization.
Presentation describes how to recognize resistance to change and barriers to change. How to increase receptivity to change and how different generations view change. Ends with John Kotter's process of creating major change.
During this APM webinar, Carolyn Limbert from Harmonic Limited explored the complex landscape of programmes and projects and focussed in on potential strategies to manage this ever changing environment.

The Canadian socio-economy has been experiencing difficulties since the early 1970s. Neither the New Public Management nor the Program Review experiments of the 1990s succeeded in generating effective repairs. After a long episode in the application of redistribution to assuage those hurt by the governance failures, new forms of organization and mechanisms of coordination are beginning to provide bottom up alternatives to government.
Program evaluation is a component of program design and implementation that is often considered after the program is in place and serving a population. Designing a program with measurable goals in mind creates stronger programming, gives grant proposals a competitive edge, and provides an agency with useful feedback to help achieve its mission. Most importantly, program evaluation allows for program tweaking to deliver the best service possible to the client.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Developmental evaluation for evaluating educational interventions

2. • Developmental evaluation is an emerging
approach to evaluating innovations (or
interventions) …that are in a continuous state of
unpredictable change and development (Patton,
2011; Reynolds, 2014).
• Builds on Patton’s (1978) earlier concept of
‘utilisation-focused’ evaluation.
• A form of design thinking that situates
evaluation differently ,as “ not simply part of
quality assurance, but as a key design, feedback
and planning tool”
(Leonard, Fitzgerald & Riordan, 2015)
3. • Outcomes and goals
are already known
• Seeks to establish if
progress is being
made towards these
goals
Conventional Evaluation
(Formative or Summative
Evaluation
Developmental Evaluation
• Seeks to ‘design’ the
goals
• Asks what works for
whom, and in what
circumstances?
(Leonard, Fitzgerald & Riordan, 2015)
5. “these two types of thinking are seen to be
mutually exclusive, but developmental evaluation is
about holding them in balance” ( Gamble, 2006)
