Although both PM and evaluation share the core concepts of improving organizational learning and practice, in practice, systems of PM have generally fallen far short of their promise. Evaluators can play a key role in the evolution of PM by helping to craft PM systems which integrate multiple data sources to provide meaningful information for decision-making, and which will promote and improve organizational learning. This presentation focuses on two major issues in PM which are of interest to evaluators: a) the roles of evaluation and monitoring in a PM system, and b) ways evaluators can improve the production, dissemination, and utilization of evaluation information within a PM system

However, internal systems often need to be built and maintained to ensure that evaluation information is used to address stakeholder reporting needs and to promote organizational learning. The panelists are each responsible for implementing such systems. The panelists will present the lessons they have learned from engaging in this work. The goal of the panel is to provide a range of strategies, tools, processes and political savvy that evaluators can use to build and maintain systems designed to promote internal and external evaluation use

TAACCCT Grants include numerous and comprehensive measurement and monitoring systems. These include both numerical data and narrative summaries of grant performance by individual institution and for the entire consortium. The purpose of this paper is to describe the systems processes that the TRAC‐7 Consortium developed to create a common understanding of the data needed to accurately capture grantee performance and the innovative performance management system that was developed from these processes to better evaluate the interconnectedness of elements. A systems thinking perspective provided the foundation for the continuous improvement process to identify patterns and report consistent and valid performance data across a consortium of diverse institutions, and narratives that accurately communicated successes. This paper discusses how resources at the lead institution were leveraged to create the performance management system, and features the audience may find advantageous over commercially available or third‐party developed software
