Evaluation & Assessment
For all of our services, we offer customized packages including preparation, delivery and follow-up.
Preparation
- Needs Analysis
We analyze the learning needs of the organization, team, and potential participants, and then develop the right mix of learning experiences to meet those needs.
- Pre-Workshop Questionnaire Or Interviews
We design, collate, and analyze pre-workshop questionnaires and conduct interviews.
Low cost/high yield tools to:- Ensure that the session meets the needs;
- Determine issues critical to the success of the workshop;
- Identify important workplace or organizational issues to address.
- Engage participants in the learning process before the workshop begins;
- Use responses to ensure commitment and a sense of ownership in the workshop and workshop results;
- Self-Evaluations
In many cases, participants complete self-evaluations to focus on the portion of the learning experience that most effectively addresses personal, team and/or organizational strengths and weaknesses. - Pre-Workshop Reading
In some cases, pre-workshop reading material or online research prepares the participants for a richer learning experience.
- Coaching for leaders and/or workshop sponsors helps them play their roles effectively before, during and after the session. This is often important in organizational initiatives and team-building.
Follow-up and follow-through
Maintaining momentum of the initiative is a critical factor in enjoying ROI in any OD, team-building, or personal learning experience.
An initiative maintained becomes a habit, a normal way of doing business, and then an organizational culture. Therefore, your initiative may require any combination of follow-up sessions:
- Follow-on session to build on skills, strategies, vision, practices and plans;
- Coaching;
- Integration of learning and/or plans into performance contracts, feedback sessions, performance evaluations, team charters, compensation, recognition, rewards;
- Development of in-house facilitators and coaches;
- Lunch time “brown-bag” learning sessions.
