RAPID-CYCLE DESIGN AND TESTING: An Adaptive Approach to Evaluation for Learning and Improvement. In this session you will hear a case study from Chance UK who will share their experiences of using this model of evaluation and look at how it has enabled them to innovate and learn in a timely way. As a small charity this approach has enabled Chance UK to make some significant changes to how they work and then to adapt these in response to what they've seen as they have delivered.
Speakers: Geethika Jayatilaka, CEO, Chance UK; and Deon Simpson, Service Improvement Specialist, Dartington Service Design Lab
Handouts are available in the handout section above.
