Passive Approach
Is increased understanding the intended result?
What concrete ways can increased understanding influence decision making?
Passive approach may lead to informal networks that support implementation

Cooperative Approach
Are conditions static enough for participants to predict necessary actions?
Will the plan be good enough to guide action?

Adaptive Network Approach
Is the problem complex and dynamic enough to warrant ongoing transaction costs?
Is there the commitment and energy to support a sustained effort?
Can the supporting collaborative networks be developed to support implementation?

Collaboration EvaluationApproach Concept Measures
Input evaluation
Better information will produce better results
Process evaluation
Better process will produce better results
Output evaluation
Better products will produce better results
Performance indicators
Interim changes will indicate whether results are being produced
Outcome measures
Actual results indicating whether results have been achieved
Program logic
Assessing the logic of the outputs and outcomes

Plan Evaluation
What would indicate they were using good information? How would you know if their process was effective? What would you look for in a good quality plan? What would indicate they are producing good short term
results? What outcomes would indicate they are doing well? How would you assess their approach?
