- With every problem comes a solution.
- Evaluation can help your organization improve existing processes.
- Select an evaluator who keeps up with the trends and issues in your industry, and with whom you can discuss viable solutions to what ails your organization.
- Think outside the box with regard to evaluating a program, product, etc. There are a number of evaluation techniques that may get at the heart of what you're looking for.
- The evaluator should discuss a range of options that provide value to you and to the organization. Be explicit about your information and service needs so the evaluator can readily accommodate you.
- Before every project, and throughout the process, ensure that both you and your evaluator are clear on what's being evaluated, your needs and goals, and that you understand the data collection methods and other techniques your evaluator will use to help you.
- A proficient evaluator will document not only the costs of the project, but the value you as the client gain for the endeavor.
- Before engaging in any project, consider how it will impact your business in the short, intermediate, and long terms.
