What are Components of a Good Outcome? (Bresciani, 2001)
• Clarify what you are trying to assess
• “If you can’t define what it is you are trying to learn about your program or process or what learning and development aspect is present, then you certainly can’t measure it”
• The outcome must be measurable
• “you must be able to provide evidence that the outcome was or was not achieved”
• The intended outcome must measure something useful and meaningful.
• “’information must be connected to issues or questions that people really care about”
• On what basis will you be able to ascertain how well “A” (audience) is achieving or performing or using or integrating “B” (ability) - Optional
• “how will this outcome be measured?”
