I've been a Founder (Charter Member 1987) of the Australian Evaluation Society ( http://www.aes.asn.au/ ) been honoured with the ET&S Award (1992) and conferred one of the first Fellows of the AES (2003).> 5 years as Non-Executive Board Director & over 10 years as Fellow of Chartered Secretaries Australia (now Governance Institute of Australia see http://www.governanceinstitute.com.au/ ).> 5 years in Leadership Development Programs (1988-1993 Centre for Creative Leadership https://www.ccl.org/ ; 2017 Coached UniSA Business School team in the International Graduate Competition @HEC University Montreal Canada) and fostering the Oath of Responsible Leadership https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13803512/ . 📲Specialties: Higher education advisor & auditor, goal attainment scaling, program evaluation, strategic evaluation, not-for-profit and public sector governance & auditing.For example, Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), which I have used in many projects; including building evaluation capability and strategic evaluation for boards of directors (https://www.personalresearchandevaluation.com/aes-conf-05-workshop-desert/ ).

Actually we need the Psychometrics of Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) for that (see Sharp, 2010 https://ssrn.com/abstract=3093143 and Sharp, 2014 SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2635955)
