WEBINAR | Evaluation Myths Debunked: Reflections from 200+ evaluations
Thursday 16 October 2025 | 2:10 p.m. NZDT | 12:10 p.m. AEDT
After evaluating everything from housing programmes to AI initiatives across Australasia, we’ve identified the evaluation myths that waste time, money, and stakeholder goodwill—even among experienced practitioners.
The evaluation field is full of “sacred cows” that sound logical but don’t always work in practice. Join our experts as they share evidence-based alternatives to popular evaluation assumptions, helping you deliver better results with the resources you have available.
What we’ll cover:
- The comprehensive evaluation myth: why more data doesn’t equal better insights
- Who can actually conduct credible evaluations (it might surprise you)
- When ethics approval requirements do and don’t apply
- Practical alternatives to extensive lived experience consultation that still centre stakeholder voices
- Real examples from evaluations that succeeded by breaking conventional rules
Who should join?
Join us if you’re responsible for commissioning evaluations, managing evaluation processes, or want evaluation findings that deliver the results you need with the resources you have.
