Thanks for your answer Chris.
I am not familiar with developmental evaluation. As I wanted to know more about
it I found the Practitioner’sGuide toDevelopmentalEvaluation. Here it is in
case it is of interest for anyone :

Subject: Re: [OSList] OST for evaluation
OST is a very good method for evaluation, especially as one aspect of a
developmental evaluation framework. Times I have used it this way I have been
sure to build it a "meaning making" phase with a small group to make sense of
what was learned. This would be alongside if or in lieu of action planning
depending on your purpose.
One thing that will help you is if you encourage people to capture a higher
granularity of data during the discussions. For me this means giving everyone
in the room a pad of post it notes for example and asking them to capture small
insights or lessons. Through the day people can post these micro harvests on a
wall and participants can group and cluster them to see what is emerging.
That's one way to do it. The principles here are giving people the ability to
record their own thoughts, letting the group itself doing the pattern finding
and sense making.
So be deliberate and make sure it's used as a coherent part of a developmental
evaluation framework. OST like all Dialogic processes has value for this work
in that context.

Hi everyone,
I was asked to facilitate an annual meeting (3 hours) which purpose is the
evaluation of a series of events taking place every years. The evaluation
concerns the organization of the events and the events itself, in order to know
what went well, what did not and have some hints for the following season. The
events are festival districts sponsored by the city but mainly organized by
volunteers with some fundings of the city. They take place all around the city,
with second hand good sales, music, cultural events, food. They are very
popular but were downsized this year due to a diminished budget allocation.
I wonder if any of you has ever used OST for the purpose of making such
evaluations. I really would love to use OST in this context, but I am not sure
if it would bring the desired outcomes. Moreover an evening is a really short
amount of time for an OST...
Thanks for any hints, Anne-Béatrice Duparc
