Evaluating Success
Knowing where you want to go is important, and evaluation is an essential tool to determining what is working, what is not, and allow for adjustments as necessary. To that end, 1MT is committed to a continual review process.
Measuring outcomes or measurable change can be very challenging. 1MT is working to establish an evaluation and assessment process to gage the effectiveness and impact on the communities we serve. Participant and partner evaluations assist our process, and we are developing to trace a progression of success. We develop metrics and Key Program Indicators (KPI’s) for each program to measure performance, inform decisions, and expose opportunities and challenges. This includes measuring social values, such as impact on communities and stakeholders, and financial values, such as return on investment.
We review activities and finances quarterly to ensure that 1MT is continually monitoring work flow and other matrix enabling the organization to adjust course if necessary to maintain organizational goals.
