Please forward to interested parties. Our apologies for cross-postings! The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) Presents: ***EFFECTIVELY WORKING WITH RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT*** Results Based Management (RBM) is a management philosophy and approach which emphasizes a clear statement of results (what is to be accomplished) at each stage of the project cycle. An RBM approach allows all participants to be aware of and understand what they are accountable for at each stage of the project. By having clearly defined indicators, participants can keep track of how the project is progressing and make in-course adjustments as required to achieve the ultimate development impact. With this approach there are no surprises as each has agreed on their contribution at the planning stage. Results-Based Management (RBM) includes: 1. Defining realistic expected results based on appropriate analysis. 2. Clearly identifying program beneficiaries and designing programs to meet their needs. 3. Monitoring progress towards results with the use of appropriate indicators. 4. Identifying and managing risks. 5. Increasing knowledge by learning lessons and integrating them into decisions. 6. Reporting on results achieved and the resources involved. This workshop will be presented by Angela Patterson, of Angelhoeve Associates Inc. Working domestically and internationally, Ms. Patterson's areas of expertise are cross-sectoral and include policy development; planning; capacity development, facilitation of organizational change; the creation of the learning organization; training systems development and implementation; institutional strengthening; women in trades and technology, conflict resolution and inter-personal communications. Ms. Patterson's experience with RBM comes from 10 years on CIDA staff as the Institutional and Human Resources Development Specialist for South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). During that time she was involved in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of in excess of 50 projects. Many of these projects were of the older variety and had to be re-fitted to an RBM approach. This involved extensive interaction with project participants (CEAs, host nationals, beneficiaries) to allow all to come to an understanding and agreement of how the project would proceed using an RBM approach. Since leaving CIDA, Ms. Patterson has conducted several results based evaluations and is currently a results-based monitor of a technical education project in India.
