Podcast & Photots from SSIR Evaluation Event Now Availble

You can now listen to audio recordings, access speakers’ presentations, and view photos from Good Measures: New Approaches to Evaluation. This sold-out event, held May 22 at Stanford University, was sponsored by Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) and FSG Social Impact Advisors and drew a diverse crowd of more than 200 leaders from both the social and corporate sectors.

A highlight of the conference was Carol Larson’s midday keynote address. Larson, president and CEO of The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, delivered an inspirational talk on assessing performance and refining strategy, which shed light on the foundation CEO’s perspective on evaluation. An audio recording of her talk is available at http://www.ssireview.org/evalresources.

Other keynoters were Tom Siebel, founder and former CEO, Siebel Systems, chairman, Siebel Foundation and Meth Project Foundation and Mark Kramer, managing director, FSG Social Impact Advisors. Many other thought leaders also contributed to the event’s success. PDFs of speakers’ powerpoint presentations are available at http://www.ssireview.org/evalresources
