This book offers many different lessons on how to improve evaluation design, research processes, and reporting.

International case studies and lessons are included that both explain success-oriented methods and share insightful lessons from the real world. Together, they present a convincing case that evaluation for success allows for increased constructive interaction amongst both stakeholders and evaluators and, as a result, learning processes and outcomes will improve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, evaluators must be flexible and responsive in order to best deal with the ever shifting environmental conditions that they face on the job. While the deficit-based approaches which have shaped evaluation practice over the years are important to master, a newer technique called Appreciative Inquiry offers evaluators an additional, viable lense through which to view their work. Appreciative Inquiry is the search for what aspects of an organization are effective and hold the key to innovation and growth. In this text, Hallie Preskill and Tessie Tzavaras Catsambas-who have integrated Appreciative Inquiry into their own practices-introduce readers to the theory and practice of Appreciative Inquiry and how it related to evaluation. Drawing on case examples, the text explains the way that this particular approach has been used to frame, design, and conduct evaluations in various sectors worldwide, and then goes on to teach audiences how to apply Appreciate Inquiry approaches to various aspects of their own evaluations. Moreover, the work instructs users on how to build evaluation capacity using Appreciative Inquiry. Reframing Evaluation Through Appreciative Inquiry is the perfect guide to this asset-based approach for consultants in non-profit, private, and government sectors, evaluators, and instructors alike. The text is particularly well suited for evaluation workshops and graduate courses which require students to practice evaluation. It is also an ideal supplement to the more general evaluation texts that are typically used in introductory program evaluation courses.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small-business enterprise is competing in an ever-changing economic landscape, characterized by globalization, consumerism, dynamic technological changes, and systems-thinking practitioners catering to a market that can change instantaneously. While some small-businesses are struggling to survive, others catapult into prosperity and become some of the world's largest organizations. Small-business entrepreneurs are challenged to adapt, generate, and generalize new knowledge faster than the competition. In so doing, the successful enterprises utilize organizational learning with an emphasis on learning capability or readiness. In this sense, the focus is not just about becoming a learning organization, but rather it is on developing a readiness or capability perspective. In this information age, where knowledge doubles every three years or less, this challenge is met by the successful entrepreneurs who demonstrate organizational learning readiness with mechanisms that facilitate individual, team, and organization-wide learning.
