Abstract

Program evaluation, as a learning process, offers promise for nonprofit leaders. Rather than conducting research on organizations, evaluators partner with organizational leaders, helping them, in real-time, understand their programs, policies, and systems; prioritize their informational needs; and generate credible and actionable knowledge to answer their questions. This article 1) outlines why evaluation may be a more responsive learning process for nonprofit leaders, in contrast to other research processes; 2) describes the field of program evaluation and its contributions to knowledge creation for nonprofits; 3) explains an evaluation approach, called developmental evaluation, that produces real-time, complexity-informed knowledge resources for nonprofit leaders; and 4) concludes by encouraging nonprofit leaders to make the most of processes, like developmental evaluation, by building their capacity to promote sustained organizational learning and knowledge creation that is conducted for them and by them as opposed to on them.

通过评估科学动态学习方法推动社会变革的非营利组织领导者的社会创新
项目评估作为一个学习过程,为非营利组织的领导者提供了希望。评估员不是对组织进行研究,而是与组织领导者合作,实时帮助他们了解他们的计划、政策和系统;优先考虑他们的信息需求;并产生可信和可操作的知识来回答他们的问题。这篇文章1)概述了为什么与其他研究过程相比,评估可能是非营利组织领导者更敏感的学习过程;2)描述了项目评估领域及其对非营利组织知识创造的贡献;3)解释了一种称为发展性评估的评估方法,该方法为非营利组织领导人提供实时的、复杂的知识资源;4)通过鼓励非营利组织领导人充分利用过程,比如发展评估,通过建立他们的能力来促进持续的组织学习和知识创造,这是为他们而不是由他们来进行的。
