• On one hand, we say we honor evaluation, that we are eager for evidence and data.
• On the other hand, most reported practice is far from enthusiastic about metrics.

Today’s economic climate has increased accountability in organizations and required training and performance professionals to look in a data-driven way at their influence.

At the same time, technology-delivered training, learning management systems and a host of tools has increased possibilities for data collection.

• Are organizations using these tools?
• And if so, to what ends?

This session will tour evaluation promises, practices and barriers and provide an opportunity for participants to examine their efforts in light of the possibilities. How do you compare to the reported efforts of our respondents? How can we all do better?

Speakers:Dr. James Marshall (LinkedIn profile) is a faculty member in the Department of Educational Technology at SDU teaching graduate-level courses in instructional design, organizational performance, and evaluation. His large-scale research studies for federal and state government agencies have evaluated over $20M in funded projects.

Your organization is pretty good at delivering on time and on budget, or at least thinks they are on a path to get there. Yet no one seems happier with the results.

• No one reads your status reports.
• Resistance to painstakingly developed processes is growing.

What is going on here?

In this presentation we provide personal tools – frameworks, models and approaches for managing beyond the mechanics of project execution and PMO compliance.

Discussion Topics:

• Why is business and stakeholder engagement an issue for IT projects?
• How should change management be planned and managed within traditional project environments?
