MERL Tech DC 2019

This interactive session will foster a conversation among participants about the evolving role for M&E when adaptive management, rigorous research, powerful IT tools, and data science are increasingly considered part of the toolkit. How do we balance engaging with new advances in technology while avoiding mission creep? How do we build teams to ensure we can respond to the needed skill sets? And how do we matrix ourselves in organizations, such that other functional units can collaborate without feeling territorial? Panelists will share how they have grappled with this challenge and invite others to share out their challenges and successes in responding to the growing role for M&E.
