    From Survey to Insight: Program Evaluation for Small Up-Skilling Organizations.

    So you want to measure Impact? Congratulations! That means that (1) you and your team want to be on the objective side of Social Impact and (2) you have reached the point where you want to know more than just the number of participants. To get to this point, you have probably found yourself asking questions like: -How are we truly changing the lives of our stakeholders? -How can we improve our programs and increase our Impact? -Are we meeting our initial objective? Talking to your board, partners, stakeholders, funders, etc., can raise many more questions. But then, how can you realistically evaluate your program’s Impact? We constantly see how smaller the organization is, the more confusing their methods are, and the less progress they accomplish. This webinar will discuss how to take a simplified and lean approach to Program Evaluation/Impact Measurement. And how to implement it from start to finish in a few steps. We’ll cover: 1. How to jumpstart the process of measuring Impact: a. Identifying important learning goals. b. Aiming for Longitudinal over one-time-surveys 2. Designing straight-to-the-point surveys 3. The differences between the longitudinal vs. one-time surveys and when to use each. 4. (practical on sopact survey) Characteristics of a longitudinal (pre-post) survey 5. Taking pre vs. post analysis to gain insights and develop your impact story. Register now to secure your spot!
