Monitoring and Evaluation of Change, Culture & Organisational Development Training Course in Abuja, Nigeria
Classroom training in Abuja · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 2,800
Restructures, culture programmes and capacity building initiatives consume large budgets, yet many leaders cannot say whether behaviour or performance actually changed. Five days equip you to measure change in a way that is credible, proportionate and useful to decision makers. You start with theory of change for transformation work, then move to baseline diagnostics, organisational capacity assessment tools, culture surveys, pulse checks, adoption metrics and the Kirkpatrick levels for linking learning to results.
Later sessions introduce outcome mapping, outcome harvesting, most significant change stories, social network analysis and contribution analysis, so you can show how an intervention helped without overclaiming. You also practise reporting resistance, readiness and sustainability, and building learning loops that feed back into leadership. The programme is suited to HR and organisational development practitioners, change managers, M&E specialists, transformation office staff, programme managers and consultants in government, NGOs, banks and corporates. Afterwards you can design an evaluation framework for a change initiative, choose indicators for cultural and behavioural shifts and present findings to executives. Classroom, online and in-house formats are offered, with a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Organisations invest in mergers, digital shifts, leadership programmes and culture campaigns, but change is hard to see and easy to claim. Staff attitudes, informal norms and decision habits do not appear in financial reports, so success is often declared on the strength of activity completion rather than evidence that people work differently.
This programme gives practitioners a disciplined approach to measuring such change. It begins with clarifying what is meant to change and why, using theory of change and change readiness frameworks. It then covers the design of indicators for behaviour, culture, capability and performance, followed by quantitative and qualitative tools, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, observation and network mapping. Evaluation designs suited to complex settings, such as outcome harvesting and contribution analysis, are explained alongside ethical practice and the politics of reporting uncomfortable findings.
Teaching relies on case material from public institutions, non-profits and private firms. Each participant drafts a measurement plan for a live or recent change initiative and receives feedback from peers and the facilitator, so that the learning is applied to real work from the first day.
Training Objectives
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Articulate a theory of change for an organisational change or development programme.
- Select indicators for behaviour, culture, capacity and performance outcomes.
- Design baseline diagnostics and pulse surveys for staff and stakeholders.
- Use qualitative methods to capture shifts in norms, attitudes and relationships.
- Apply outcome mapping, outcome harvesting and contribution analysis.
- Assess change readiness, resistance and sustainability.
- Link learning and development activity to results using Kirkpatrick levels.
- Report findings to leaders in a way that prompts action.
