Evaluation manager's role in commissioning evaluations that matter

Using the model presented in the upcoming book "Evaluation Management: Commissioning and Conducting Evaluations That Matter," the facilitator will pose questions to panelists to explore the roles and contributions of evaluation commissioners in managing relevant evaluations. How do evaluation managers commission and manage evaluations that tell a useful story for their organizations and the public, a story that highlights accomplishments, challenges assumptions, raises questions, provokes conversations, and helps stakeholders to build a desirable future?
