Evaluation Planning and Management.
Armstrong, Anona F.
This paper presents a plan of action for managing evaluation implementation and ensuring the ongoing utilization of evaluation results. It addresses strategies that are required to manage the problems encountered in a 10-step management plan. Focus is on introducing an evaluation monitoring system within organizations. Steps in the plan include: (1) pre-evaluation assessment; (2) implementation of human resources strategies; (3) establishment of key result areas, indicators, and performance measures, standards and targets, and other criteria for judging the program; determination of priorities for collecting research; and setting of boundaries on what the evaluation will produce; (4) development of a database management system; (5) determination of responsibility for evaluation and data collection and manipulation; (6) establishment of the reporting and feedback requirements; (7) determination of rewards for performance; (8) initiation of evaluation procedures; (9) determination of the worth of the evaluation; and (10) maintenance of impetus via continued endorsement from management and widespread reporting of achievements. Rationale for such a plan of action, organizational structures that support evaluation, and designation of responsible persons are also discussed. (TJH)
