Category: Evaluation Reporting
In Predictive Evaluation (PE), I share my evaluation findings with stakeholders using the dashboard concept. The dashboard is a report to senior management providing an at-a-glance perspective on the current status of a course in the context of predetermined (predicted) metrics for that program (Intention, Adoption, or Impact). PE dashboards are simple, short, and do not require interpretation. Click here for a sample of these types of

Recently, some of my clients have needed year-end reports that share evaluation findings ( Intention , Adoption , and Impact ) in a single dashboard. I thought that sharing this new year-end dashboard with you was an excellent topic for my final blog of 2011. When designing the new dashboard I set the following requirements:
There are many times where we as evaluators, trainers, and HR professionals need to convey training evaluation findings. Often we spend hours authoring a detailed report making sure every word is just so. In fact the only people who read these reports are us. Our business partners don’t have the time or the desire to read an 18-page report with an appendix and glossary of terms.
In my Predictive Evaluation model we share our findings using the dashboard concept. The dashboard is a report to senior management that provides an at-a-glance perspective on the current status of a course in the context of predetermined metrics for that program (Intention, Adoption, or Impact). Good dashboards are simple, short, and do not require you to interpret them.
