What Does It Mean to Have an Evaluation Mindset in Your Organisation?

Isn’t evaluation just about surveys and reports?
Not really. Evaluation starts with mindset — how you approach learning in your organisation.
An evaluation mindset means:

• Asking: “What can we learn from this?”
• Seeing feedback as fuel, not criticism.
• Valuing progress and growth, not just final outcomes.

Why it matters:
When your team views evaluation as learning — not judgment — it becomes a source of energy, not stress. This shift is what helps CICs and charities adapt, grow, and show impact more confidently.
Reflection for you: Does your organisation treat evaluation as judgment, or as an opportunity to learn?
