RESTREAM + LIVE Q&A | Credible Evaluations: Balancing Resourcing and Accurate Insights

Thursday 11 September 2025 | 12:10-12:55 p.m. NZST | 10:10-10:55 a.m. AEST

In an era where the competing priorities of understanding what drives policy, program, and service success—or lack thereof—and reduced evaluation resources prevail, how can you maintain the integrity and impact of your evaluations?

In this webinar, our evaluation veterans will discuss how to deliver ‘the Toyota’ of evaluations, as opposed to ‘the Ferrari’, by focusing on the fundamentals of credible evaluation within your context. They’ll explore the delicate balance of making necessary compromises while avoiding detrimental ones, including strategies for scenarios where there simply isn’t enough capacity to deliver your evaluation work program.

We’ll cover:

• Understanding the current landscape in Aotearoa + Australia
• Identifying critical compromises, including what you should not compromise on
• How local government teams can evaluate their work cost-effectively
• Strategies for managing capacity constraints
• What the future might look like for evaluators and their work

Who should join?

Evaluation professionals with a strong understanding of fundamentals, looking to build upon their knowledge.
