    Measuring Innovation--Continuous Improvements and Radical Change: An On-Going Learning Cycle
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2016) Browning, Mary; Hitch, Emilie; Lantto, Suzanne
    This project was completed as part of the 2015-2016 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Carver County. Carver County staff had initiated continuous improvement and innovation workshops across a variety of departments. The goal of this project was to create an evaluation plan for the innovation workshops. Carver County project lead Lorraine Brady worked with a team of students in PA 5311: Program Evaluation, to develop an evaluation plan, program logic model, and assessment tools for future events. The student proposal sought to answer two questions: (1) does the Innovation Project lead to cultural transformation? and (2) Does this cultural transformation lead to increased value? The students' final report and presentation are available.
