TAU PMIG Evaluation in Practice “Flexible Methodology” 19 Oct 2010 By Barrie Kroukamp & Cliff Matthews
Some hard data can never be hard enough The key to flexible evaluation
It’s All in the Mind • While it is critical to be uncompromising when doing evaluation it is realistic to be philosophically flexible. • This applies especially to on going projects or mid term reviews • So get hard on data but soft on application • Try to be as developmental in approach as possible • Organizations value and respect interim feedback so that they can take action immediately • Try to see it as a process rather then a moment in time balance sheet • Allow for and encourage robust debate and even conflict within the evaluation team • Apply a number of balancing “instruments” to check data • Ensure that personal or marketing agendas do not get in the way of the truth. • Listen intently but don’t hold back with any feedback …just be nice.
