Want to launch an evaluation, but not sure where to start? Wondering how much you should budget for it, or who should be involved? Although 90% of nonprofits are engaged in evaluation, it continues to be one of the most mysterious and misunderstood functions of nonprofit management. In this evaluation 101-level webinar on October 3, 2013, Johanna Morariu and Ann Emery introduced key evaluation concepts, approaches, and methods. We also explained the four stages of the evaluation lifecycle (planning, data collection, analysis, and action). These slides are an excerpt from the fuller webinar.

Many organizations are using advocacy strategies to meet their missions. Just like any other work that foundations and nonprofits engage in, advocacy needs to be continually assessed, tweaked, and strengthened through a process of evaluation and learning. In this webinar with the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, Johanna Morariu and Will Fenn shared the nine steps of advocacy evaluation. The webinar is based on Innovation Network's report titled "Pathfinder: A Practical Guide to Advocacy Evaluation." The webinar took place on Wednesday, June 26, 2013.

Do-It-Yourself Logic Models: Examples, Templates, and Checklists

Innovation Network

Logic models are nonprofit road maps: they help you diagram where you are now and where you hope to be in the future. They are used for program planning, program management, fundraising, communications, consensus-building, and evaluation planning. Want to make a logic model, but not sure where to start? In this 90-minute webinar, Johanna Morariu and Ann Emery taught about the nuts and bolts of logic models--what they are, how to make them, who should be involved in the process, and how often to update them. We’ll provide you with tools like a logic model template, free online logic model builder, and a logic model checklist. We’ll also share several examples from real nonprofits so that you’re ready to hit the ground running. To learn more, please visit www.innonet.org.

Evaluation: Finding a Common Ground

Innovation Network

In July 2013, Innovation Network's Kat Athanasiades and Veena Pankaj presented "Evaluation: Finding a Common Ground" at the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The purpose of this session was to highlight the common threads that distinguish regional associations from other organizational genres in the social sector. Regional associations promote effectiveness in philanthropy by providing grantmakers with opportunities to engage with others, share ideas, and generate best practices that support both the individual and collective impact of philanthropy. While each regional association employs its own unique mix of strategies to achieve impact, most are working towards a shared goal of promoting effectiveness within philanthropy. In this session, Innovation Network engaged participants in a group dialogue to draw out high level strategies and desired outcomes that are common across most regional associations. The resulting logic model is a tool that regional associations can use as a starting point when planning for evaluation. Innovation Network is a nonprofit evaluation, research, and consulting firm. We provide knowledge and expertise to help nonprofits and funders learn from their work to improve their results. For more information, please visit www.innonet.org.

Data Placemats: Construction and Practical Design Tips

Innovation Network

Increasing stakeholder involvement throughout the evaluation lifecycle, not only enhances stakeholder buy-in to the final evaluation results, but it also ensures that the evaluator is taking into consideration multiple viewpoints to be able to provide a more comprehensive picture of a program or initiative. Data placemats, a data viz technique to improve stakeholder understanding of data, can be used to communicate preliminary evaluation results during the analysis phase of the evaluation life cycle. When done correctly, it offers stakeholders an opportunity to form their own judgments about the data and weigh in prior to the final report. In this session, the presenter will review the concept of data placemats, focusing specifically on the nuts and bolts of constructing a data placemat.

Tutorial on Online User Engagement: Metrics and Optimization

Mounia Lalmas-Roelleke

These are the slides of the tutorial Liangjie Hong and I gave at The Web Conference in San Francisco, 2019. Full details of the tutorial and previous instances can be found at https://onlineuserengagement.github.io/. Tutorial abstract: User engagement plays a central role in companies operating online services, such as search engines, news portals, e commerce sites, entertainment services, and social networks. A main challenge is to leverage collected knowledge about the daily online behavior of millions of users to understand what engage them short-term and more importantly long-term. Two critical steps of improving user engagement are metrics and their optimization. The most common way that engagement is measured is through various online metrics, acting as proxy measures of user engagement. This tutorial will review these metrics, their advantages and drawbacks, and their appropriateness to various types of online services. Once metrics are defined, how to optimize them will become the key issue. We will survey methodologies including machine learning models and experimental designs that are utilized to optimize these metrics via directly or indirect ways. As case studies, we will focus on four types of services, news, search, entertainment, and e-commerce. We will end with lessons learned and a discussion on the most promising research directions. Presenters: Liangjie Hong, Director of Engineering, Data Science and Machine Learning at Etsy Inc. Mounia Lalmas, Director of Research at Spotify, and Head of Tech Research in Personalization.

Assessing the Capacity of Community Coalitions to Advocate for Change

Innovation Network

Research has shown that high-capacity coalitions are more successful in effecting community change. While a number of coalition assessment tools have been developed, documentation is scarce regarding how they are implemented, how the results are used, and whether they are predictive of coalition success in collaborative community change efforts. Developed for a health promotion initiative of a major health foundation, this tool is designed to assess coalition progress in eight key areas across twelve different community coalitions, over the course of a three year initiative. On May 21, 2013, Veena Pankaj, Kat Athanasiades, Ann Emery, and Johanna Morariu gave a presentation titled "Assessing the Capacity of Community Coalitions to Advocate for Change." The panel was hosted by the Advocacy Planning and Evaluation Program (APEP) at the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC. The session focused on a coalition assessment tool that was designed by Innovation Network to assess changes in coalition capacity over time. Presenters shared lessons learned from the first year of the initiative about developing and deploying the assessment tool, as well as what these tools can--and can't--tell you about a coalition's capacity in conducting community change work. In addition presenters shared how information collected from this assessment can be communicated back to the coalitions using data visualization approaches to effectively communicate the data.

Refreshing Evaluation in Support of the Social Movements Revival

Innovation Network

There is a growing social consciousness in America and a revival of using social movements as a vehicle for social change—with increasing nonprofit involvement and philanthropic funding support. Since the mid-2000’s there have been several notable movements that have taken hold of the public consciousness: the immigration reform movement and DREAMers, The Occupy Movement, Gay Marriage, climate change movement, Black Lives Matter, and a nascent, potential movement developing in protest of the Trump Administration. While evaluating movements has some parallels to established evaluation practice, it also represents some thorny challenges. In a session presented at the American Evaluation Association Conference on November 10, 2017, we explore and share what we are learning about evaluating social movements, including: what we know about social movements, their components, characteristics, and types; what aspects of social movements are ripe for evaluation; and what existing evaluation approaches are well suited to evaluating social movements.

Evaluation Theory Tree: Evaluation Approaches

Innovation Network

During the 2015 American Evaluation Association's Annual Conference in Chicago, Katherine Haugh and Deborah Grodzicki conducted a real time data mini-study to see which evaluation approaches evaluators at #eval15 use most frequently in their work. Basing their mini-study off of Marvin C. Alkin's "Evaluation Roots: A Wider Perspective of Theorists’ Views and Influences," they asked evaluators to vote for the top two approaches they used most often. This handout accompanied the real time data mini-study to provide more information about the formation of the evaluation theory tree, it's three branches, and definitions of the evaluation approaches associated with each branch.

Innovation Network

Putting Data in Context: Timelining for Evaluators

Innovation Network

Creating a timeline is a method for picturing or seeing events as they take place over time. By documenting major occurrences in chronological order, evaluators are able to identify patterns, themes, or trends that they may not have seen otherwise. A timeline allows evaluators to “zoom out” and look at the broader landscape, so that they are better positioned to think through and understand the context in which events occur. Having a timeline is especially useful for complex, multi-year evaluation projects with several threads of evaluation, where documenting the process is just as important as measuring the outcome itself. Creating a timeline has three key components: planning, populating, and revising. This presentation shows how to incorporate a timeline into a report, how to use a timeline to track progress internally, and how to utilize data visualization principles to create a visual timeline. Highlights of this presentation are also available in our handout titled "Putting Data in Context: Timelining for Evaluators (HANDOUT)".

Collecting and analyzing data in real time doesn't have to be as stressful or hard as it sounds, especially if you want to collect real time data using surveys. There is a short way and a long way to collect real time survey data. The short way of collecting and analyzing survey data is to use software that has the capability of collecting and analyzing survey data when embedded into powerpoints or webinars. The long way is to use hard copies of surveys to collect data, and Excel to analyze. This document will show you step by step how to collect and analyze survey data the long way.

Success and Failure in the Evaluation Process

Innovation Network

Success and Failure in the Evaluation Process What do the terms “success” and “failure” really mean in the philanthropic world? Funders have taken different approaches to learning from initiatives that haven’t gone quite as they had hoped. Some funders want to learn from their mistakes, some provide technical assistance to lagging grantees, and some want to focus their light on “bright spots” and grantee successes. In this session, Kat Athanasiades from Innovation Network will discuss how and when her organization uses grant reports in evaluation; how and why getting good evaluation data from grant reports is difficult; and potential ways to make it easier for grantees to report on failure in a way that could be useful to evaluators. Session participants will: •Know how funders can embed “failure reporting” into grant reports in ways that are useful to evaluators. •Learn ways a foundation can combat some of the "structural" impediments, e.g., trust and communication, that may prevent proper reporting on failure. •Gain ideas from fellow participants on how to understand and appreciate grantmaking "failures" as well as successes.

Evaluating Adaptive Capacity and Skills + Resources

Innovation Network

Since its inception in 2000, the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) has invested in policy change in Missouri. Recognizing a dearth of organizations with the capacity to advocate for Missouri health consumers, MFH broadened its grantmaking vision to building a field of consumer health advocates. Using the Framework for Evaluating Advocacy Field Building, Innovation Network and the Center for Evaluation Innovation are currently gauging how MFH shapes this field through its grantmaking. This presentation will focus on evaluating two dimensions of the Framework of this field: Adaptive Capacity and Skills & Resources. A discussion of data collection activities will give the audience ideas about how to evaluate these dimensions, lessons learned from the process, and what has been revealed through the evaluation about Skills & Resources and Adaptive Capacity in a field.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdf

KaiNexus

Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion. What is Enterprise Excellence? Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization. What might I learn? A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo. Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers. Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
