Strategic Evaluation Planning

Learn to create a evaluation plan that is integrated into your organization’s strategic planning process. Maximize effectiveness, minimize duplication and eliminate meaningless data.

Strategic evaluation is a concept developed by Eva Schweber with the sole purpose of increasing efficiency in an organization’s efforts to evaluate their work. Too often organizations have multiple evaluation efforts that are each recreating the wheel. Once those evaluations are complete the results are not adequately integrated into future decisions resulting in wasted effort. If organizations can take more time at the outset of a project and improve internal communication, they may find that they have more resources to share and more to learn from each other than they know.

The central focus of the workshop will be walking the participants through the various components of a strategic evaluation process, using case studies gleaned from their own professional experiences as illustrations. The workshop will include developing goals using techniques such as needs assessments and environmental scans, identifying stakeholders and incorporating feedback opportunities. Participants will leave this workshop with a template for developing an evaluation in their own organizations.
