Focus on the critical shifts

Quick Self Check

Let’s do a quick self-check to see how you are thinking about the application of these shifts in your organisation.

From Accountability to Leadership

We use the ideas of evaluation to focus our team and partners on what matters most.

Our reports ask more about what really matters than what we are responsible for.

We ask questions to explore what counts rather than just collecting data.

From Effort to Effect

We measure the changes in people more than we measure what we do.

Our reports are less about our outputs and more about our outcomes.

We do not use anecdotes as evidence of impact.

From Feedback to Self-reflection

More of our evaluation questions are about how participants are doing and not on feedback (what they think) about us.

We ask more questions about the impact that is lasting after the program, not just the experience people have in the program.

We use questions to explore where participants are struggling, not just where they are succeeding.

From Data Extraction to Human Engagement

We make evaluation a part of our program, not simply an assessment after our program is done.

We debrief with participants about the meaning of impact, not just give them a survey.

We design our questions as a learning opportunity for the participants, not simply a data collection opportunity for us.

From Quantitative Metrics to a Robust Data Set

We use guided interviews as sources of data.

We analyze our qualitative data for underlying themes instead of just using quotes.

We regularly use a mixed methods approach to data collection.

Your answers are only visible to you.
