Experts and futurists are unanimous that the NEW important skill for all workers is critical thinking.

Why is that?

The reality is that we are in a global economy where change is rapid, the unpredictability of events abound, there is the shrinking of the new workforce, and of course, digitalization.

Many of the roles demand beyond the usual tasks and roles. They need to be self-directed and constantly critically thinking about how to solve and manage the unknowns and unpredictability of work.

Learn:

• How do unpredictability, uncertainty, and rapid change mold the new workers?
• How do training and learning address these problems?
• How does the  NEW Critical Thinking compare to the old one?
• What is the new skill in expanding thinking capacities?
• What are the cases that show the value of critical thinking to banks, credit unions, farming, manufacturing, processes, government, and IT?
• How would you design learning that starts with critical thinking and ends with learning as a result?

Your organization invests a great deal into learning and development programs.

• Do you know if your programs are working?
• Worth the investment of time and other resources?
• If your programs are meeting their goals, do you have insight as to why?
• Or, if they’re not performing well, do you know what they need to succeed?

Program evaluation is about applying systematic methods to collect, analyze, interpret, and communicate data about a program to understand its design, implementation, outcomes, or impacts.

Simply put, it’s about asking good questions, gathering the right data, and using what we learn to make good decisions.

In this session Sheila will provide a brief overview of five phases of program evaluation:

1. Engagement and understanding,
2. Evaluation questions,
3. Data collection,
4. Data analysis and interpretation, and
5. Reporting and use.

She will share key questions you need to ask and answer during each phase, along with a list of the types of tools you can use to conduct a program evaluation.

Learn:

• The key phases of a program evaluation
• How program evaluation is distinct from employee evaluation and from research
• How program evaluation can contribute to continuous improvement
