Phase: Launch and improve · Stage 7 of 7
Measure, improve and sustain
Start here if the activity happened and you want to know whether it helped.
Doing something is not the same as helping. A full room and good coverage are not proof of impact.
Questions to work through
Answer these with the people you are trying to help, not just with your own team. Write down the ones you are not sure about.
- What changed for participants?
- What did they find useful?
- What should stop or improve?
- Can the team sustain the work?
- Would deeper work with the same community help more than expanding?
What you should have by the end
Worksheet
Short impact review and next-cycle plan
Two pages. Print it and write on it.
Milestone
Evidence, feedback, and a decision you have written down: repeat, adapt, partner, grow or close.
Next action
Share the learning and update the plan.
Working on this alone, or with us
You can work through this stage on your own, and plenty of people will. If you would like a mentor to talk it through, or an introduction to someone who has done it before, tell us about your idea.
