A series of six action learning sets focussing on
THE
VALUE
OF EVALUATION
Some of the questions often asked about evaluation include:
v What is it?
v What can it offer me and my organisation?
v How does it differ from audit or performance management?
v What are the risks of uncovering what we dont know (as opposed to confirming what we think we know)?
v What are the risks of not uncovering what we dont know?
v Is evaluation a good use of resources?
v Who should do it and can it be done alone?
v Where do I start?
Are you keen to develop your knowledge and skills of evaluation?
then
Come and work with others in similar situations to develop your knowledge
Through a series of 6 action learning sets, facilitated by experienced action learners, using a combination of collaborative action learning and expert input, we will explore:
v evaluation processes
v the relationship between evaluation and change
v ethical challenges
v its relationship to users and their role
v learning cycles
Participants will be from Voluntary/Third sector organisations and from
· understood the key components
· recognised the relationship between evaluation and organisational change
· explored the particular challenges for them and how these might be addressed within their organisation.
This is more than a series of training days. It will be a dynamic and collaborative process. It offers participants the opportunity to understand the basic frameworks of evaluation and to have the opportunity to use them to explore their own issues through structured discussion and facilitated problem-solving. This will be a practical process with participants developing work in their own organisations throughout the set.
On offer is a series of 6 sessions starting with a full day on
Thursday 25th January 2007
Venue: MEA House,
This will be followed by five facilitated half days, the times of which will be set by participants to ensure best fit.

Action learning set: the value of evaluation
Please book one place on the action learning set (The Value of Evaluation) for me. I understand that the full set will include one whole day and five half days spread out over the next six months and that I am committing to the whole programme, not just the first day. The set depends on continuous involvement by members and without this commitment the set will not work for yourself or other participants.
