Kylie Hutchinson

Kylie Hutchinson took her first course in evaluation in 1988 and was forever hooked. After winning the Canadian Evaluation Society’s Student Competition and several years of working for nonprofits, she leapt into evaluation consulting. For many years she delivered the Canadian Evaluation Society’s Essential Skills Series in British Columbia and has provided training on a variety of evaluation topics for organizations such as the American Evaluation Association, Canadian Evaluation Society, African Evaluation Society, Danish Evaluation Society, and the US Centres for Disease Control. Kylie has a passion for translating evaluation theory into practical tips and resources for evaluators in the trenches including a mobile learning course on evaluation for senior managers. She is the author of A Short Primer on Innovative Evaluation Reporting, Evaluation Failures: 22 Tales of Mistakes Made and Lessons Learned, and Survive and Thrive: Three Steps to Securing Your Program’s Sustainability. Kylie tweets regularly on evaluation topics at @EvaluationMaven.
