The INDEED Evaluation Podcast
Ep. 10 Radar Advies "The RAN Peer and Self Review Manual for Exit Work"
In this Knowledge Series interview, Fenna Keijzer and Maarten van de Donk discuss how organizations can effectively review their own processes, learn from evaluations, and avoid the phenomenon known as "Evaluation Panic." Keijzer, a coordinator at RadarAdvies and researcher at the National Extremism Support Center, and van de Donk, a senior adviser at RadarAdvies and the Radicalization Awareness Network, share insights from their work with "Exit" programs designed to help individuals disengage from extremist groups. They emphasize the importance of evaluations, particularly peer and self-reviews, to demonstrate effectiveness, foster accountability, and drive continuous improvement.
The discussion covers the preparation, implementation, and post-evaluation steps necessary for successful evaluations, highlighting the need for management support, strategic stakeholder engagement, and clear communication to mitigate evaluation-related anxiety and skepticism. Practical tips include investing in thorough preparation, starting evaluations in a stable environment, and maintaining consistency in the evaluation process to ensure actionable insights and sustained improvement.
