Measures of Success

This is the scorecard we use, and invite our clients to use, to measure success. Whether for a short-term project such as a meeting facilitation or a longer-term engagement such as organizational design, inclusion, or leadership programs, we consider success when we can answer yes to the following questions.

  1. Were the short-term and long-term goals achieved?
    We rigorously identify desired outcomes so that together consultants and clients can steer to success.
  2. Is the solution sustainable?
    Solutions should be durable and comfortably maintained.
  3. Have people learned
    • How to address similar issues in the future? Can the client generalize the solution to future situations? (organizational capacity)
    • How to work together effectively to create solutions to other issues? (process knowledge and skill)
    • About their own strengths, needs, and capacity to contribute to solutions in the future? (individual capacity)
    • About the particulars that created the original challenge and ways to avoid it or ways to create new direction? (content knowledge)
  4. Is the organization more fully capable of living out its mission? (alignment)

    I cannot express how impacted I was during our last class together. It impressed me over the course of the weekend, but in writing this paper I have realized just how much the course has affected my life. I truly appreciate this assignment (and all the other assignments you had us do) but I also appreciate your flexibility. I know this paper is not what you had planned to give as an assignment, but without it I don't think I would have reached the level of clarity that I now possess.

    Writing this paper was both easy and difficult. It was easy because it was honest, but sitting with that honesty right now is very difficult. Despite my questions about myself and my passion, I am grateful to at least be wrestling with the Truth rather than continuing to put forth a dream I've never dreamt.
