Cooperative Approach

 Are conditions static enough for participants to predict necessary actions?  Will the plan be good enough to guide action?

Adaptive Network Approach

 Is the problem complex and dynamic enough to warrant ongoing transaction costs?  Is there the commitment and energy to support a sustained effort?  Can the supporting collaborative networks be developed to support implementation?

Collaboration Evaluation

Approach Concept Measures Input evaluation Better information will produce better results Process evaluation Better process will produce better results Output evaluation Better products will produce better results Performance indicators Interim changes will indicate whether results are being produced Outcome measures Actual results indicating whether results have been achieved Program logic Assessing the logic of the outputs and outcomes
