Evaluation in Practice

Abstract

A real-life example may serve to illustrate how the building blocks of an evaluation system that embraces both performance and potential might be put together. The example, selected from a business we will call ‘Optima’, contains all the significant elements without being overwhelmingly comprehensive. It is often counterproductive to overload a system with too many elements. Such a system may well promise more information, and greater depth and precision of results, but it can easily become so unwieldy for its users (the evaluator and the evaluation subject), so difficult to comprehend and time-consuming, that it is never fully accepted.
