In April, the OPEN Forum – Strategies to embed evidence into an organisation’s practice – Getting started on the journey built on the conversation started in our March Forum, at which we explored in depth the evidence journey of Mission Australia and Family Life.
At our April OPEN Forum, we provided a panel discussion about the key lessons of getting started with embedding evidence from the perspectives of four experienced evidence practitioners within the sector. The discussion highlighted the different journeys, strategies and key lessons that can get your organisation started on the evidence journey. Speakers spoke from different positions, but all described using cost-efficient strategies to support the embedding of evidence into program, division, or organisational systems.
As such, the common key message running throughout the discussion was the importance of ‘everyday, real time’ evaluation as a first port of call to establish foundational evidence for tracking progress and improvement, before more high-end experimental testing maybe needed.
