D.I.Y. Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation in Geneva

As part of the LIFT07 conference in Geneva, I ran a workshop on “Do-It-Yourself Monitoring and Evaluation” today. Some 40 people attended and the participants did some interesting work in designing evaluation frameworks for their projects. My presentation can be found here:

There was also some interest in the following areas:

• Network mapping; Rick Davies has an excellent web page on this methodology.
• Relationship measurement; a good start are the IPR guidelines.
• Most Significant Change Method and Outcome Mapping are described on this web page quite well (scroll down and you can download the pfd with more details).
• And there was a lot of interest in Blog Return-on-investment. You can read about the work of Forrester Research in this area, but you’d be wise to read the counterpoints on the blogs of K D Paine and LeverWealth.
