What are your views and thoughts about student #1 and student #2 post on these questions
STUDENT #1
1. It is common for stakeholders to essentially ask, “How can you
prove that our program had an effect?” What would be your
standard, simple, “sound bite” response to this question?
Partners are clients, representatives, or financial specialists that show enthusiasm for a particular business (Issel and Wells, 2018). A partner is otherwise called an individual or gathering of individuals who claim an offer in the business. They are either legitimately associated with the extend or have interests that might be influenced by the undertaking’s result.
It tends to be normal for partners to basically ask, “how might you demonstrate that our program had an impact?”. The quantitative information investigation and understanding have indicated that the program had a noteworthy impact”. The program result targets have been met effectively and this has been finished up in the wake of investigating the effect of autonomous indicator factors on the reliant result factors. With regard to partners, we need to comprehend that they also are our clients. It is significant that they comprehend the program without limit. Giving partners the sentiment of being remembered for the procedure causes them to feel sure about the choices that are being made. We can show them quantitative information examination and translation. We can give the partners the realities and consequences of the program. For instance, we can give them that the program had a critical impact, Showing that the program result destinations were effectively met. We additionally need to know how we are going to gather information.
2. If you had a very limited budget but were committed to collecting
and using some type of qualitative data to get at the
perceptions of program participants, what might be your best
option? Explain.
It is essential to initially clarify the distinction between Qualitative and Quantitive information. Quantitive information is information that can be estimated. Subjective information is information that can be depicted however not estimated. With regard to the information, it is one of the most significant parts of an association. Without information, an organization or association can’t see and get patterns. All things considered, if an association has a restricted spending plan, there are ways around gathering subjective information. Having a constrained spending plan can’t hindrance from having the option to gather subjective information. During the evaluation and arranging stages, subjective techniques yield information basic to create and outline program components before starting a program (Issel and Wells, 2018). Subjective information is the one that must be depicted yet not estimated, though quantitative information can be estimated. A model would be, on the off chance that we are working with a weight-lessening operator in a test, we need to gauge the heaviness of the subject (quantitative data) now and again, which is a higher priority than the subjective information that is drawn by simply taking a gander at the subject.

It is common for stakeholders to essentially ask, “How can you prove that our program had an effect?” What would be your standard, simple, “sound bite” response to this question?
According to Issel & Wells, they state, “bottom line: if the evaluation methods, design, data collection, or analyses are flawed, the findings lose credibility and persuasiveness (2018)”. Knowing that a stakeholder (someone invested in the business either as a customer, investor or employee) needs accountability for the outcome of a program he is the backbone to I have to answer very confident and persuasive. My simple and standard “sound bite” reply would be “In order to proof that the program had an effect we need to determine the effects of our program by comparing and contrasting the current impact objectives and goals to the results and benchmarks of programs similar to ours. By comparing program goals, impact objectives, benchmarks, and results between our program and similar programs as a method of explanation provides a more practical comparison. Comparing oranges to oranges illustrates to the stakeholder the relative success of our health program and clearly identifies the areas of both success and failure. Another benefit of stakeholder involvement is that expectations can be addressed if stakeholders’ expectations are unrealistic given resource limits or methodological reasons, those expectations need to be acknowledged, discussed, and made more realistic. This is crucial to be aware that stakeholders would need to ask this as they play a pivotal role in any evaluation. Discussing any surprise findings that were helpful or hurt the effectiveness of the program also gives stakeholders insights into the degree of the health program’s success and my abilities.
2. If you had a very limited budget but are committed to collecting and using some type of qualitative data to get at the perceptions of program participants, what might be your best option? Explain.
I’ve learned that qualitative data is data that can be described but not measured. It is the most important aspect of an organization, without data, there are no comparisons to be made in terms of seeing and understanding trends, to create budgets you need qualitative data.
A qualitative approach that is used rarely in health program planning and evaluation entails the use of narrative methods.
Qualitative approaches give a voice, both literally and metaphorically, to stakeholders. This effect is important because it makes stakeholders feel valued. The act of speaking to someone and telling a story generates feelings that are substantively different from the feeling generated by responding to a survey questionnaire.
Narrative methods use text as data. The text can come from personal sources, such as diaries, and from public or agency sources, such as existing agency records, memos, reports, videos, newspapers, and other print media.
Narrative designs focus on the linguistics of the texts and often follow a more straightforward content analysis approach. In other words, information from the qualitative data can be used to improve the effect theory on which the program was based.
As for which is the best option here I would agree with to form and rely on the internal team of the organization who would help the organization collect, gather and analyze the required data for strategy formulation and going ahead with the same as well (Issel & Wells, P. 342). As in any business venture when there is a budget you make do with what you have and continue forward. There are pros and cons to create and obtain data perhaps It is essential one has to strive to look for ways to have qualitative data
