An M&E system is often described in a document called an M&E plan.
The use of a Monitoring and Evaluation system in a project or program is a significant undertaking that generally requires both organizational changes and employee readiness for the transition. To establish clarity of purpose for the M&E system, create a clear roadmap, and communicate the vision, key stakeholders have to be trained on broad-based and systematic approaches to M&E, and indeed the drivers that are generating the demand for evaluation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PROJECT PROPOSAL WRITING AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION Writing is an art that can be learnt and improved upon. It is one way of communicating with people to share the thoughts and to give concrete ideas and messages. It is more challenging than speaking because speaking is more interactive and both sides can clarify at once if they need more information. Writing cannot give that kind of chance and in some way, it is a passive way of communicating. However, good writing can provide concrete messages to the readers.
While managers of NGOs may accurately realize the importance of fundraising, without thorough knowledge of the donors’ landscape they waste valuable time and money figuring out how the system works.

| FORENSIC & INVESTIGATIVE AUDITING While auditors may not need to have the same expertise of a person whose primary role is to detect and investigate fraud, they are expected to have sufficient knowledge to evaluate the risk of fraud and the manner in which it is managed by the organisation. At times, the auditors may also need to pursue further on red flags and resolve allegations of fraud with evidence. Hence, a certain level of understanding and skills on forensic auditing will assist auditors to discharge their responsibility in this area.

| ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT (ERM) The turmoil in the world is continuing – with increasing public unrest fluctuating commodity and service prices, natural disasters on a scale so unimaginable, volatile stock markets and world economic uncertainty. The possible way out is to recognise the only real link between all these events – RISK – and then to try to anticipate, manage and exploit such risks at an enterprise level.
In many organizations risks have been identified as a result of control failures or as a result of pressure from regulators or Government. The primary intent has often been to tick the box and avoid criticism. Thankfully many organisations have realised that much more is needed and have developed an ERM approach, to ensure that risks that were previously managed in isolation can be aggregated and prioritized across the entire enterprise. However, stopping here is like driving a plane on a highway – it might go faster than the cars but it hasn't reached its full potential. This course takes you one step further. Risks are scored based on business materiality with each risk being evaluated and compared with it’s financial, legal, reputational, and regulatory impact, and classified by the effect it could have on the enterprise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For HR professionals, this digital transformation poses two fundamental challenges: First, the obligation to help their organisations and employees shift to a digital mind-set, a digital way of managing, organizing, and leading change. Second, the obligation to revolutionize the entire employee experience by transforming the way they communicate and use technology via new digital platforms, apps, and ways of delivering services. Today there are more than 7 billion mobile devices in the world, and more than 40 percent of all Internet traffic is driven by these devices, yet organisational teams remain far behind in deploying mobile solutions.

| TRAINING NEEDS ASSESSMENT (TNA) & TRAINING VALUE ANALYSIS (TVA) Course Objectives Regardless of how impressive or popular training programs appear to be, outcomes rule the day and they must be measured in systematic and quantitative terms. This boils down to two areas: 1. Costs and 2. Results.

If conducted properly, it will also help you to diagnose when training will solve certain problems and issues and when alternative interventions might be needed.

Bill Roberts 2009.
HR Analytics can be powerful in showing you areas where you could improve to meet the needs of your organization better.

| DESIGNING STRATEGIES FOR ORGANISATIONAL SERVICE EXCELLENCE You can't control anything you can't measure ... an organisation that is trying to get into its customers' good books without a sensitive barometer to measure how WELL it is serving its customer base, is like a miner deep down under without a headlight! Businesses and organisations are mired in the classical financial indicators, which are necessary, but grossly insufficient for the purpose, for the simple reason that those indicators have two major weaknesses - they are very much LAGGING; worse, they have zero DIAGNOSTIC capability. When these indicators head south, it is way too late to figure out the root cause. They give no clues whatsoever, as to what might have gone awry | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
