A Strategy for Evaluation: Going Beyond the Fundamentals

Dr Marguerite Foxon at The Learning Sanctuary

Most Training and HR professionals are keen to evaluate training and other programs in their organisations but lack the know-how or structure and operating framework to achieve it consistently.

Dr Marguerite Foxon, a global leader in evaluation, leads an innovative workshop that shows you how to establish an evaluation strategy, use more sophisticated evaluation tools than the Kirkpatrick hierarchy, and systematically determine the effectiveness of your training programmes and organisational interventions.

Who should attend?

Anyone involved in training, education, HRD, or OD who wants a more advanced level of expertise in how to evaluate training and other corporate interventions.

Enhance your evaluation expertise while having these questions answered:

• Where does evaluation fit within the overall design, development, and delivery process?
• How do I take a strategic approach to evaluation and measurement interventions?
• What models other than Kirkpatrick can I use?
• How do I plan and execute an evaluation with limited resources?
• What methods can I use to gather evaluation information?
• How do I find out how much people are using the new skills and what impact that’s having on the organization?
• Can I get reliable and valid data if I don’t know anything about statistics?
• What’s the quickest and most effective way to write the evaluation report?
• How do I handle the ‘politics’ of evaluation in my organisation?
• How can I get buy-in from management for doing evaluation?

What you can expect

• A hands-on workshop where you will receive practical guidance from Dr Marguerite Foxon, an internationally recognised expert practitioner in evaluation in organisations
• Instruction on how to develop an evaluation strategy that focuses on your organisation's measurement needs
• Insight into how to 'sell' evaluation to management
• Help in managing the political aspects of evaluation
• You will receive participant materials including case studies, activities, application exercises and take-away tools that can be used in your own evaluations

If you want to know how to approach evaluation more systematically and professionally, this master class is for you.
