Module description

Inclusive Systemic Evaluation (ISE) moves beyond simply tracking outputs or results, placing emphasis instead on participatory learning, impact analysis, and transformative change. By incorporating diverse worldviews, ISE uncovers external influences—such as policies, conflicts, elections, or socio-environmental shocks—that can shape outcomes in unexpected ways. It treats every evaluation as an opportunity for broad stakeholder groups—including public and private sectors, organisations, and communities—to reflect, rethink, and adapt their actions. Rooted in critical systems thinking, ISE enables service designers to capture multiple perspectives, explore interrelationships, and consider intervention boundaries, helping them see the bigger picture rather than isolated parts.
