Dr Jess Dart is the founder and Chief Evaluator of Clear Horizon, an Australian-based specialist evaluation company. Having received the 2018 Outstanding Contribution to Evaluation Award from the Australian Evaluation Society (AES), Jess is a recognised leader with over 25 years of experience in strategy, design and evaluation for organisations in Australia and overseas. She specialises in the evaluation of complex and emergent programs and approaches. As part of her PhD, she tested the ‘Most Significant Change Technique’ in an Australian context and later co-authored the User Guide with Rick Davies, which is now translated into 12 different languages. Jess is passionate about supporting organisations and communities to thrive, and believes that evaluation has a place to support groups to achieve their shared agenda. Evaluation, when done well, can help communities and organisations uncover what works and what does not, as well as telling the story of change and creating momentum and clarity.
