Eval 12 Session 739: Building Evaluators' Adaptive Capacity to Work in Complex Ecologies 

10-26-2012 07:17

Our world is experiencing fundamental shifts in conditions (e.g., economic, environmental), communication tools (e.g., Internet, social media), and social norms and values (e.g., cultural responsiveness) that challenge us to continuously acquire and apply new knowledge, and reassess and improve our practice. Understanding concepts that involve changes in long-standing mental models and applying them to evaluation requires new approaches to learning and interacting. To keep adapting to an unpredictable and dynamic world requires attention to ongoing processes of learning that become embedded in our work and daily living. In this session we focus on learning processes that support deep learning and integration of new perspectives into evaluation practice over time. We introduce one approach—the ECLIPS model—and ask participants to critique it and generate additional approaches that could help evaluators apply new concepts in complex ecologies. In particular, we seek to generate processes that support continuous learning, application, and networking.
