Webinar - Connecting Strategy, Evaluation, and Learning in Your Organization
April 4, 2014 /3BL Media/ - The social sector is increasingly interested in assessing the impact of efforts to address complex problems. We have increasingly seen evaluation positioned as a tool for strategic learning within the philanthropic field. Yet, evaluation in many of today’s organizations is ad hoc, not aligned to strategy, underfunded, and underused. The current state of evaluation in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors points to the need for a more strategic approach to evaluation and learning.
This webinar will provide participants with deeper understanding of what it means for organizations to develop a comprehensive strategy for evaluation through the development of a Strategic Learning and Evaluation System. We will answer the question:
How can you ensure that your organization’s investments in evaluation and learning are contributing to your ability to achieve greater impact?
Join FSG’s Hallie Preskill and Katelyn Mack, in conversation with Medina Haeri, program associate at Oak Foundation, Rebekah Levin, director of evaluation and learning for the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, and Brenda Solórzano, chief program director at Blue Shield of California Foundation. This lively webinar discussion will focus on:
- Conditions that support an integrated approach to strategy, evaluation, and learning
- Common challenges to designing and implementing a Strategic Learning and Evaluation System
- How organizations are using a Strategic Learning and Evaluation System to achieve their goals
We hope you’ll join us and tweet along using the hashtag #strategicevaluation.
