Developmental evaluation supports the ongoing development and adaption of a programme, or innovation in emergent and complex situations. Kate McKegg and Nan Wehipeihana offer workshops and mentoring on the design and use of Developmental Evaluation. In January 2017 they ran a developmental evaluation workshop for the Rockefeller Global Fellowship on Social Innovation in Ubud, Indonesia; and in May 2017 with Dr Nora Murphy they will offer a full-day workshop at the Canadian Evaluation Society annual conference in Vancouver, Canada. Please contact the Kinnect Group for more information on our Developmental Evaluation workshops. |
