Session 1414, Evaluation 2015: Design Thinking for Exemplary Evaluation: Three Examples of Design for Evaluation and Organizational Learning While the other presenters in the panel will describe the application of design thinking to program evaluation, this presentation will focus on a distinct but related topic: the use of design thinking for organizational learning in a foundation setting. Design thinking is a process for developing solutions to abstract, ill-defined, and complex problems

One useful approach to increase interest and engagement in evaluation is design thinking -- a user-centered, participatory, and iterative method for developing solutions to abstract, ill-defined, or complex problems. To encourage participants to explore how design thinking could improve their evaluation efforts, the facilitators of this Think Tank session will provide a brief overview of design thinking concepts and tools, along with examples of how it has been applied to evaluation and organizational learning efforts. Participants will work in small groups to practice the application of design thinking, and to explore design thinking's relevance to evaluation -- particularly its potential to build stronger and more productive relationships between foundations, grantees, evaluators, program staff, and program beneficiaries
