Our VIP news and tips post

 

Here we will provide hints, tips and the latest news to help you increase your transition to and mastery of OUTCOMES evaluation.

We launch this post with the three key things to know about OUTCOME evaluation
 

OUTCOME EVALUATION provides evidence for the changes that occur for clients and how the program or service has played a role in causing the change. In other words, it answers the question: “What difference is our program or service making for clients?”

It is becoming critical for service providers to be able to demonstrate client outcomes to their stakeholders, including current and potential clients, funders, partners and the broader community.

Organisation that evidence their client outcomes become stronger, because OUTCOMES evidence enables them to reflect on how they can do things better for continual improvement.

Most of us know that evaluation and providing evidence for the difference we make is essential. It is knowing what the journey looks like and where to start that can be paralysing.

If you are about to embark on a program or project evaluation but feel at a standstill, this short course is for you.

 

We provide an overview of the evaluation journey, minus the technical jargon, so you can see where you are going. Then we guide you along a pathway of simple steps, so you can make a start at getting there.

*You will have access to the course content and software for 3 weeks, so if you miss a week you will have the opportunity to catch up.
