Arrival & Check-in What’s happened sinceour last gathering that you’d like to share with the group (either personal or professional)?
ECLIPS WebinarJuly 20, 2012Integrating Systems Concepts into an Evaluation:Oregon Paint Stewardship Program (OPSP) Example
Overview of Today’s Webinar • Check-in • Integrating Systems Concepts into Oregon Paint Stewardship Program Evaluation • Fuzzy Logic Model • Evaluation Questions • Evaluation Findings • Phase 2 Evaluation • August and September Webinars • October 28 All-day Meeting in Minneapolis
Evaluation Questions • Collaboration • Paint Stewardship Organization • Education and Outreach • Consumer Purchasing Decisions • Collection of Post-Consumer Paint • Paint Reprocessing, Recycling, and Energy Recovery
Evaluation Questions (cont.) • 7. Household Hazardous Waste Program • 8. Cost Effectiveness • 9. Waste Hierarchy • 10. Market for Post-Consumer Paint • 11. Transferability • 12. Unexpected Results
Designing Next Evaluation Phase • Oregon Paint Stewardship Program Phase 2 Evaluation • Getting to high impact system influences by understanding underlying principles of action.

Levers for Changing Complex Systems: Boundaries (B), Relationships (R), and Perspectives (P) • Boundaries: Demarcations that create a region/entity • Relationships (interconnections): Connections/exchanges among bounded system parts • Perspectives: Mental models, world views, purposes From Parsons, B. and Jessup, P. (2009). “Questions that Matter: A Tool for Working in Complex Situations”. Ft. Collins, CO: InSites.

Influencing System Patterns • Help Oregon Paint Stewardship Program leaders identify high impact system influences that attend to underlying principles of action. • Seek congruence across levels of the social ecology.
Domains of the Social Ecology Individual Societal Community Relationships
Consider System Structural Archetypes • Success to the Successful • Fixes that Fail • Seeking the Wrong Goal • Shifting the Burden • Limits to Growth • Drifting Goals • Rule Beating • Tragedy of the Commons • Escalation
Places to Intervene in a System(from D. Meadows) • 6. Information Flows • 5. Rules (incentives, punishments, constraints) • 4. Self-organization • 3. Goals • 2. Paradigms • 1. Transcending Paradigms

August Webinar Topics • SEEs and RCLs provide logic model informed by systems thinking for their evaluation (10 minutes each) • Discussion of how to complete presentation of use of systems concepts/thinking in your evaluations
September Webinar Topics • SEEs and RCLs summarize their evaluation changes (5 minutes each) • Contextually Responsive Evaluation – Veronica Thomas • Plans for October 19 webinar and October 28 meeting
