I am purely talking about church area here (that is what I am familiar with and have been apart of the evaluation process) but I think it can go to other areas. I know when we would do youth events we would look at why they were successful, but there was always something that we could improve on. Maybe we should have changed the time, or had more of this... you get the idea. IT seems that we are always working to improve no matter if it was a success or a failure.

Which I agree with completely. (loosely quoted) "You can't learn how to have a good marriage by studying bad ones. The best you can hope to learn by that is how to have a 'not bad' marriage. To learn how to have a good marriage you have to study good marriages." This reminds me of Marcus Buckingham's stuff. Which I agree with completely.

Learning to get all the facts in place before you develop something is really important. Also learning how to best manage volunteers is critical, sometimes it can feel like herding cats but they are the backbone to your ministry.
