The Convergence of Evaluation and Organizational Learning

Day 2: Sept 23, 2013 • 1:15pm • Ballard Hall Small Conference Room

By Anna Williams

All evaluators hope evaluations will help organizations to learn and improve; however, reality often falls short. The presenters will discuss how the fields of evaluation and organizational learning are merging, providing examples from the field, explaining terms, and sharing stories about successes and failures from their work.

She specializes in the crossroads between evaluation, systems, strategy, and organizational learning. Tim Larson, a Principal at Ross Strategic, works with agencies, companies, philanthropies, and international organizations to improve environmental management and decision-making.
