Strategic Problem Solving:Evaluation

Mayur M. Desai, PhD, MPHJune 2015

Outline

• What are good indicators?

• Process and outcome indicators

• Balancing measures

• Common pitfalls in evaluation

8 Steps of Strategic Problem Solving

1. Assess the Landscape and Define the Problem2. Envision the Future: Start with the End in Mind3. Set a SMART Objective4. Conduct a Root Cause Analysis5. Develop and Compare Possible Strategies6. Create an Implementation Plan7. Create an Evaluation Plan8. Implement and Monitor Progress

Good indicators are…

Valid:• Does the indicator actually measure what you want

to measure?

Reliable:• If conditions stay the same, will you get the same

result with repeated measurements?

Feasible:• Is it possible to measure the indicator that you are

proposing with the available systems and resources?

Process Indicators

• Did you do what you planned to do?

• Refer to your Gantt chart for key milestones and deliverables

• Examples:– Number of staff trained– Renovation completed– New policy written– Others?

Outcome Indicators

• Did you have the desired impact?

• Refer to your overall objective and related factors in your root cause analysis

• Examples:– Waiting time reduced– Patients more satisfied– Staff have better morale– Others?

Balancing Measures

Measures to ensure that your intervention does not have any unintended consequences

To ensure that your indicators are meaningful and realistic, be sure to specify:

• Who is the data for?

• How will it be used?

• What data do you want?

• When do you want it?

• Who will collect the data?

• Who will analyze and report the data?

• What resources and skills are needed to conduct the evaluation?

• To whom will the results be reported and in what form?

In addition, need to ask yourself:

• Are gender-specific and gender-relevant data being collected?

Common Pitfalls in Evaluation

• Having indicators that you cannot collect accurately or completely

• Having too many indicators

• Having indicators that are complex and difficult to communicate

• Having indicators that cause people to act in a way contrary to the best interest of the organization

So, the intervention worked! Now what?

• Maintain progress

• Imbed in organizational culture

• Scale up and/or disseminate, as appropriate

Summary

• Systematic approach to problem solving develops your capacity as a leader and manager

• A good problem statement adds clarity to the discussion

• Root cause analysis and strategy selection should be based on analysis

• Understanding and addressing resistance to change is a fundamental task of leadership

• Failure to scale up is often a failure to engage appropriately

Thank you.

Special Session on CRPD: Viet Nam

Interpersonal conflict styles in the workplace

Zahirah McNattJune 2015

Session overview

Explore our own behavior in relation to professional and personal conflicts or disagreements

Discuss your team experience over the past 3 months in relation to disagreements

Individual reflection

Think about a time when you experienced a disagreement within a team…

– What was the nature of the argument/disagreement?

– How did you feel?

What Statement Matches Most Closely to Your Style of Dealing

with Disagreement?

Styles of dealing with disagreements

Collaborating

Competing

Avoiding

Harmonizing

Compromising

1. When I find myself in an argument, I gather as much information as I can and keep the lines of communication open

2. I find conflicts challenging and exhilarating; I enjoy the battle of ideas and intelligence that usually follows

3. Being at odds with other people makes me feel uncomfortable and anxious

4. I may not get what I want but it’s a small price to pay for keeping the peace

5. I try to negotiate and adopt a give-and-take approach to problem situations

Unproductive conflict or disagreement

• Ignore, laugh away, smooth over, keep peace instead of unearth issues

• Frame differences in terms of right and wrong

• Associate opinions with people instead of the issues those people are representing

• Blame someone or something outside the team

Productive conflict or disagreement

• Remember shared goals

• Allow differences to surface and embrace them as opportunities for learning and creativity

• Use data for evaluating alternatives and making choices

• Adhere to your agreed upon norms of behavior

• Keep perspective (respect, humor)

Group exercise20 minutes

Think back to your individual reflection (a time when you experienced a disagreement).

1. Which style did you use in that situation? Why?2. How was the disagreement resolved?

Discuss your responses with a small group

42

Take home messages

Working in teams can be rewarding and challenging

Disagreement is a healthy and necessary aspect of teamwork

Healthy disagreement/debate results in great ideas, innovative solutions and positive relationships

Thank you
