Recent years have seen the realisation of the importance of strong project theory. The most sophisticated Theory of Change (ToC) models are non-linear and highly reflective, particularly concerning the assumptions we make in articulating models of change.
This course brings together tried and tested techniques for monitoring all levels of the results chain in complex projects with ongoing reflection of the theories of change behind the actions. It argues for;
- Open exploration using cognitive mapping
- Strong and evolving project theory
- A move to ongoing, formative evaluation
- Use of comparative monitoring in real-time at all levels of the results chain
- Internal reviews (ALEX) for qualitative learning
- Design and control of systems at lower levels; reflection and guidance from upper levels
