We bring curiosity, compassion, and drive to the table to support structures that cause the human spirit to flourish and obliterate those that condition dehumanization, apathy, or fear. Our practice works on a sliding scale fee structure so that young organizations can also have access to high-level consulting services. https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/data-collection-analysis-and-reporting daily 0.75 2022-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b576130957ef4511edaeb2/1640914774136-NLWF8PWV90I06USAUKRJ/unsplash-image-6EnTPvPPL6I.jpg Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting - Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting: Measure for Impact We leverage data to understand all types of impact. In addition to the standard metrics you might expect, our specialty is bringing the intangible types of impact into sharper focus (i.e. concepts around culture, belonging, empowerment, psychological safety, social networks, creative confidence, self-compassion, etc.) No matter the type of impact, the science of our work is grounded in data analytics. We work in each stage of the data life cycle: capturing, maintaining, processing, analyzing, and communicating data. However, our most important work is to discern the purpose of the measurement and make that actionable. In the measurement world, we have an acronym MERL. Each process represented in the acronym uses data to enhance performance within an organization. · Monitoring: use data to track fidelity of implementation, track climate and culture, track progress towards established goals. · Evaluation: Use data to answer the questions: “Is this effective? Does it do what it says it does? Is it equally effective across diverse populations?” · Research: Use data to discover new ways to do things, to understand an ecosystem, understand a market, understand a phenomenon · Learning: Use data to improve the organization, its members, particularly its leadership. Identify blindspots and quickly track new trends. Whatever the purpose, it is always a collaboration. It is the job of the leaders to understand the organization’s direction, and our job is to understand measurement. We listen and we translate the concerns we hear from leaders into systems of data collection and analysis so that impact is maximized. We specialized in strategic listening through surveys and focus groups, as well as impact analysis. https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/strategic-planning daily 0.75 2022-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b576130957ef4511edaeb2/1641143951441-CNCXCH6EOXIVTW1VXMF9/unsplash-image-7KLa-xLbSXA.jpg Strategic Planning - Strategic Planning-Design for Impact Before we can measure impact, we have to design for impact. I’ll be honest and say most of the organizations and companies that hire me initially aren’t totally clear about the exact impact they want to make. In most cases, we end up starting the process with strategic planning processes rather than diving directly into the measurement work. This can include working with the leader, a small team, or a wide array of stakeholders to align organizational efforts towards clear goals, refine the social impact goals in a logic model or a Business Model Canvas, or create an evaluation plan. We are driven to make sure the strategic planning process does four things: 1) Creates guiding documents that represent the core drivers fueling the orgnaization’s daily work 2) Translates results seen on the ground into measurable, sharable outcomes 3) Prescribes systems of measurement and reflection that are size-appropriate for the organization 4) Communicates the core methodology and beliefs to all stakeholders in a logical sequence. When everyone is aligned around common goals, it maximizes investment and prevents mission drift. https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/areas-of-focus-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b576130957ef4511edaeb2/1641357655963-OCITXF9VU9LZ4T9YCF0Z/unsplash-image-vaTsR-ghLog.jpg Areas of Focus -

Change Management: Evolve for Impact Our work in change management often comes as a natural follow-up to prior work in strategic planning and/or impact measurement. As leaders follow through on their ambitious goals and follow up on findings from the data, we support them to manage changes in their organizations, practices, and work culture. Using the best practices from organizational psychology and learning science, we support their domain expertise to advise in the implementation of new strategies for effecting change, but more importantly, predicting and coping with how various stakeholders will best adapt to the change process. https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/gee-volenteer-contact daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/gee-advise-contact daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/gee-sign-up-for-updates daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://www.theartandscienceofimpact.org/galleries-everywhere-experiement-suggestions daily 0.75 2022-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b576130957ef4511edaeb2/0b483e80-7464-4d4b-86c8-81ff25dc69a8/GEE+logo.png Galleries Everywhere Experiement Suggestions - Do have suggestions or ideas that could help make the Galleries Everywhere Experiment successful?
