Abstract

Abstract A model case of a large multisite simulation program is described wherein the adoption of the revised Standards of Best Practice: Simulation (2013) offers a compelling argument for new paradigm development. The authors offer the use of return on expectations in addition to return on investment in the complex matter of program evaluation to identify value to organizations. Stakeholders must be engaged early to begin program evaluation, as Kirkpatrick suggests, with the end in mind. In this way, true transformation of simulation practices makes systematic and sustainable program evaluation more likely.
