If you're in Portland for the American Evaluation Association conference this week, look out for our very own Michael Lenczner and Benjamin McNamee. #Evaluation2024
Very excited to spend the rest of the week in Portland with Michael Lenczner at the American Evaluation Association conference. Looking forward to discussion and sessions on all things evaluation. However, we're particularly interested in discussions related to the incentives and disincentives that shape evaluation and evidence practices. So many different barriers and issues get in the way of good evidence creation, good evaluation, and effective learning and use of the produced evidence. Questions of evaluation capacity, searchability and findability, rigor and methods, power and equity, quality and availability of data, etc. Maybe these are all just symptoms of a deeper problem - the incentives that exist for good evidence generation and use? If you're in town, we'd love to chat. We're also hosting a small lunch on this topic on Friday - please send me a note if you'd like to join us. #Evaluation2024
