Things to think about when observing programs from a systems perspective
A friend of mine (Donna Podems) is heading up a project that involves providing a structure for a group of on-the-ground observers so they can apply a systems perspective to understanding what programs are doing and what they are accomplishing. She asked me for a brain dump, which I happily provided. What follows is by … Continue reading Things to think about when observing programs from a systems perspective
Depicting Complexity in 2-D
There is an interesting discussion going on in the Linked-In discussion group of the European Evaluation Society with respect to a question someone asked: How do linear models address the complexity in which we work? I can’t help but to weigh in. I also placed a link to this blog post on the EES discussion … Continue reading Depicting Complexity in 2-D
Drawing on Complexity to do Hands-on Evaluation (Part 3) – Turning the Wrench

Three Coming Blog Posts on Applying Complexity Behavior in Evaluation
During each of the first three weeks in January I will be publishing a blog post on how complexity can be applied in evaluation. They are not ready yet, but they are close. Below is the common introduction that I will be using for each of the posts. Common Introduction to all Three Posts Part … Continue reading Three Coming Blog Posts on Applying Complexity Behavior in Evaluation
A Complex System Perspective on Program Scale-up and Replication
I’m in the process of working up a presentation for the upcoming conference of the American Evaluation Association:. Successful Scale-up Of Promising Pilots: Challenges, Strategies, and Measurement Considerations. (It will be a great panel. You should attend if you can.) This is the abstract for my presentation. Title: Complex System Behavior as a Lens to … Continue reading A Complex System Perspective on Program Scale-up and Replication
Case Study Example for Workshop 18: Systems as Program Theory and as Methodology
Case Study Example for Workshop 18: Systems as Program Theory and as Methodology: A Hands on Approach over the Evaluation Life Cycle This case was developed for a workshop at the American Evaluation Association's 2015 Summer Evaluation Institute. Construction of the Case This is the example we will use throughout this workshop to illustrate how … Continue reading Case Study Example for Workshop 18: Systems as Program Theory and as Methodology
