It's #ChangeFest week! 🤸‍♀️ See you there? On Wednesday, I will facilitate a panel on whether the evaluation of #placebased approaches is stuck. You can still secure your tickets for #ChangeFest2024 here: https://t.co/o216NoqdKo #evaluation #placebasedapproaches #systemschange

Next month I’ll be talking about one of my favourite subjects – Developmental Evaluation – with some of my favourite fellow experts from across the globe. Register: https://t.co/7qV7sl8xp2 #developmentalevaluation

#Eval22

#aea2022 - reshaping the evaluator- funder relationship to center equity. It’s cant be solved on a tender to tender basis - systemic challenge - funders have work to do to create culturally safe practice for small businesses led by more diverse evaluators

"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." AEA President Veronica Olazabal quotes Audre Lorde to open this year's conference, (re)shaping evaluation together #AEA2022

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller. (re)shaping evaluation together #AEA2022 #Eval2022 #UniversityofAlabama @ Hyatt Regency New Orleans

We've got our final Developmental Evaluation course for the year coming up. A great approach to add for people out there working with projects that are still at the very very beginning of something and have a lot of iteration and change to cover.

Quick action from @AESociety - we just got back from this year's conference. See you in Brisbane next year.

Great session by melb uni team on evaluating schools as community hubs #aes22ADL. Using Brinkerhoff’s ‘success case method’ and reinforcing need for evaluative thinking to really make them work in context.

4/ If you couldn't join us, you can watch this webinar we did about the project with some of the people on the panel a few months ago

3/ - Proactively deal with past experiences and assumptions around what evaluation is - Take time to demystify evaluation and work out the right level to start building capacity in evaluation on - Making sure language between social innovation and evaluation is understood

2/ Some of the lessons so far from this 10-year community lead #mentalhealth initiative (a lot has to do with time): - Go at the pace of the community - It takes time to learn and time to collect data - Clarify your role in the community so that they see this project is theirs

1/ What a great panel on @OurTownSA at #aes22ADL! So fascinating to highlight different perspectives on what it really takes to run this initiative @fay_fuller @tacsi_innovate Lessons and recorded option in thread 👇 #Measurement #Evaluation #Learning #MEL #SocialInnovation
