Demonstrating Success

As a professional, you know that your programs need to show evidence of success. For example, regardless of how important a communication skills training seminar might be to the overall team-building effort of a company, if you cannot show how it affected the employees’ teamwork skills or how improved teamwork added to company performance, the program might not be funded again. This realization may have originated with you, or the organization may require evaluations and demand accountability. If you have always assumed that evaluations are just too difficult for you to do, that you don't want to tackle difficult data collection or unfathomable data analysis, think again. The ABCs of Evaluation will dispel these misconceptions and show you what to do.
