We've developed a workbook to help you plan a Learning Driven Assessment. Created for foundation program officers, social investors and others charged with determining the effectiveness of social sector programs, this workbook is designed to support discussions between program and evaluation colleagues. Using this workbook is a process which will occur over a period of weeks and months. Please engage experts on assessment to help finalize and implement the Learning Driven Assessment plan you design by following this 3 step process. For an overview of this process please see Overview: The 3 step process. We are currently in the beta test phase, collecting feedback on this Learning Drive Assessment workbook. Please let us know whether the workbook is helpful to you, and what we can do to make it even better. Please send your comments to socialimpact@mckinsey.com.
See how McKinsey’s approach to designing a learning-driven social impact assessment can be applied to real-life situations faced by foundations and other non-profit organizations.
