CECAN Ltd is delighted to introduce this brand new training opportunity! Thursday 27th June 2024, 10:00 – 16:00, Live Online Training (via Zoom) Building on our popular ‘Handling Complexity in Policy Evaluation’ series, which is designed to provide you with knowledge and practical advice that allows you to deal with complexity in policy analysis and evaluation. Limited spaces available, book soon to avoid disappointment: https://bit.ly/49gUxMP This workshop offers an opportunity to reflect on how evaluation can be adaptive and developmental using systems exploration, theory-based assessments of change processes and iterative designs while maintaining a robust and rigorous approach to evidence gathering and sense making in complexity. Many evaluators as well as evaluation managers and commissioners find themselves confronted by complex issues in changing contexts where no one model, approach or set of methods will help them extract the most and the best from a project whether focused on innovation or impact. Embedding flexibility and being agile at any and all turns is becoming an essential element in effective evaluation. Course Details: In the context of the challenges complexity presents to carrying out, managing and commissioning policy evaluation, this workshop focuses on how and when taking an adaptive and developmental approach will lead to a better process and a more useful outcome. Based on a set of essential principles with building trust at the core of this kind of evaluation, the workshop sets out to: introduce participants to the main principles and practice of adaptive and developmental evaluation in the complex environments evaluators and policy makers face today; and explore their applicability to the evaluation activities they are involved in, commission and oversee.
