Next DC Forum meeting on February 8

We now have a date and time for the next DC Forum meeting: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Wednesday, February 8.

The agenda includes Christian Ketels, from Harvard's Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, who will be providing an overview of evaluation methods, with special emphasis on a new technique that holds significant promise for standardization, and Stuart Rosenfeld, of Regional Technology Strategies, will give some comments regarding the overall success rate of competitiveness programs and steps donors can take to improve it.

As before, these shorter presentations are designed to stimulate discussion and action, rather than substitute for it. Our main focus will be on refining the nature of our dialogue with donors, on best practics in competitiveness, promotion of those practices within the donor community, and on improved measurement and evaluation tools. Further updates on the agenda and the venue will be published as the date approaches.
