Why choose this course?
Do you need help with Monitoring? To help your organisation learn quickly and remain agile? Join our experienced facilitators, and together with a peer group you will apply real time monitoring systems to your own projects, with one-to-one sessions with your facilitators to help develop your systems. We introduce open exploration using cognitive mapping, use of comparative monitoring in real-time (RTM) at all levels of the results chain, internal reviews for qualitative learning, ongoing, formative evaluation and design and control of systems at lower levels with reflection and guidance from upper levels.
