Forthcoming Training Workshops

Building Better Intervention Logics & Outcomes Models - Level I
18 October 2012 (Wellington)

"Excellent course. Interactive and good mix of theory and exercises. Paul's an excellent facilitator"

Join Dr Paul Duignan for a highly focused workshop that will increase your skills and confidence in developing and using intervention logics. At the end of the workshop, attendees will have new techniques and tools to take back to their workplace and apply immediately.

By the end of the workshop, participants will understand:
•    Why you are drawing intervention logics (DoViews, outcomes models, program logics)
•    How they fit at the centre of strategy, performance management, evaluation and justifying what you do
•    How they can be drawn to ensure they are the most useful they can be
•    How the 13 Tips to Better Intervention Logics can be applied in practice to build great DoViews – plus, participants will start practicing doing this in the second (Level II) workshop.

You can find out more about DoView software at: www.DoView.com.

Building Better Intervention Logics & Outcomes Models - Level II
18 October 2012 (Wellington)

Join Dr Paul Duignan for this Level II workshop that will actively involve you in building and improving your intervention logics.

You are welcome to bring along an intervention logic that you are currently working on.

By the end of the workshop, you will understand:
•    The best ways to structure large intervention logics (DoViews, program logics)
•    How to avoid common problems with intervention logics and performance management
•    How to build an example of an intervention logic in DoView outcomes and evaluation software (in small groups).

This workshop will be especially useful for those working with:
• outcomes
• monitoring and indicators
• project management
• performance management and reporting
• strategic planning
• evaluation
• contracting
• Statements of Intent

Outcomes-Focused Strategic Planning for the Public Sector
17 October 2012 (Wellington)

New Zealand Public sector strategic planners, policy and other staff are now faced with a wide range of competing demands. These include having to do traditional strategic planning but also having to: ‘manage for outcomes’; prove impacts and cost-effectiveness under the Public Finance Act; track progress on outcomes; show ‘line-of-sight between outputs and outcomes for central agencies; do programme evaluation; and report on outputs for accountability purposes. In addition they may be called upon to work on collaborative cross-department projects with shared outcomes.

It can be exhausting navigating through these different demands. Join Dr Paul Duignan for this highly focused workshop that will give you an easier way to achieve what you and your department need to achieve.

This workshop provides participants with a great introduction to developing practical knowledge, skills & methods for:
• Using a single visual outcomes model (DoView) as the basis for all aspects of strategic planning, performance management, monitoring, evaluation, economic evaluation, and results-based delegation and contracting.
• Saving time and streamlining strategic planning, monitoring, evaluation and related functions by leveraging off the initial work done in developing a common visual DoView.
• Achieving efficiencies by using the comprehensive DoView in all discussions of strategy, outcomes etc. within the organization and with external stakeholders to show ‘line-of-sight between outputs and outcomes.

Aspects of this approach are currently being used with a number government departments around Wellington. Come to this workshop and find out what you need to know to apply this effective new approach to your work.

This workshop is aimed at those involved in the myriad demands of public sector planning. Participants will include those currently working in the following types of roles :
•           Strategic planners
•           Organisational architects
•           Project managers
•           Policy managers and Analysts
•           Corporate planners.

DoView Software Training Level 1 (Introduction)
16 October 2012 (Wellington)

DoView outcomes processor software is increasingly being used by government and not-for-profit organisations in NZ and overseas. It's a flexible tool for describing your organisational outcomes, the steps you are taking to get to them and measuring success. It is unique in being designed for use in real-time with groups to develop and work with visual outcomes models. Level 1 of this workshop will be a basic introduction to DoView for those who have not used it before. Part II will cover more advanced uses of DoView in visual strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation. The focus will be on the use of DoView. For an introduction to the use of visual strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation and building visual outcomes models (intervention logics, DoViews) you should also attend the other workshops. More information about DoView is available from www.DoView.com.

Proving Results & Evaluating Success - Evaluating Policy and Programme Outcomes
19 October 2012 (Wellington)

Trying to prove organizational impacts is crucial (the Public Finance Act requirement to report on impacts is now being audited and, outside of government, even small community groups are feeling the pressure to prove impacts).

This workshop will step you through Duignan's Evaluation Planning Tool. This is a newly developed tool which leads you through the process of planning any evaluation on any topic in any sector. Evaluation planning is not trivial and when it comes to impact evaluation planning you need a clear framework for identifying your evaluation options. Duignan's Tool gives you this framework. If you are contracting or commissioning internal or external evaluators, it provides a strong basis for clear discussions with your evaluators about evaluation planning.

The tool is particularly strong in an area in which NZ has been traditionally weak - planning for impact evaluation - the current hot topic in the public and not-for-profit sectors. Duignan's Evaluation Planning Tool takes you through seven possible impact evaluation design types and gives you a more efficient way of communicating your evaluation plans - mapped onto a project plan or organizational DoView.

This workshops will be especially useful for:
• Policy managers & analysts
• Evaluation, monitoring & indicators management
• Corporate & strategic planners.
• Project managers
• Contracting managers

Recent Training Workshops

Public Sector Strategic Planning
Abu Dhabi, UAE, 13-15 December 2010

Good strategic planning is fundamental to a modern, effective public sector. However, strategic planning methods are often introduced from the private sector without considering the different requirements of the public sector. The focus of this workshop will be on helping participants develop a practical strategic planning approach that they can immediately apply and which will work in any part of the public sector. In the workshop Dr Paul Duignan will take participants beyond just producing a normal ‘text and table’ strategic plan (although it will be shown how such a plan can be produced) to a new way of working. In this innovative approach, a visual ‘outcomes model strategic plan’ is used as the basis for strategic planning. Work done on building this model within the strategic planning process can then be reused within a range of different organizational functions (e.g. performance measurement, outcomes-focused contracting etc.).
