American and Canadian Evaluation Associations - Justin Menkes, Featured Speaker

This session reveals “Evaluative Thinking” as the essential organizational advantage, regardless of industry or national boundary. More than simply an attitude or mindset; it is a set of cognitive skills and management practices shown to be decisive determinants of organizational success in 18 different countries and in seven different languages. Menkes and Davidson detailed what the evaluative mind looks like, how it links to the evaluative culture, and how it can thrive within organizations. Using an extensive empirical foundation supported by exclusive interviews with 30 of the world’s most prominent CEO’s (including Jack Welch, Jim Kilts (CEO Gillette), Kevin Rollins (CEO Dell), Irene Rosenfeld (CEO Frito-Lay), Thomas Ebeling (Novartis), and Sir Tom McKillop (Astrazeneca), we showed how great CEOs around the world leverage the evaluative mind within their organizations. Key concepts and findings are featured in Menkes’ "Executive Intelligence" (Harper Collins) and Davidson’s "Evaluation Methodology Basics" (Sage).
