UNPACKING RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT(RBM)Module 5 – Results-Based Reporting Mosaic Workshop - Ottawa July 14-18, 2008
Results-based Reporting • Reporting is required every 4, 6, 12 months • Always refer to the original Project contract.
From Activities to Results • In RBM, we are challenged to describe what has changed NOT what was done
When Reporting on Results… • Place the people affected, or the product generated by the activity in the centre of your statements, not the person doing the activity • If you think you are describing an activity, ask the “so what” question
When Reporting on Results… Be guided by your results framework • Outputs • Outcomes • Impact
Results Reporting Ideas - Discussion • What kind of results statements would you want to make about your Case Study Outputs and Outcomes?
Community Capacity Output Result… Groups and individuals have increased knowledge of social justice issues and are capable of sharing/ disseminating knowledge with others “This year a total of 3342 self help group members received justice lessons. We could not provide justice lessons to 158 members; they will receive them next year.” Reporting on Activities or Results?
Community Capacity Output Result… Groups and individuals have increased knowledge of social justice issues and are capable of sharing/ disseminating knowledge with others. “All 150 identified individuals are now trained. By the end of the training, about 100 (20 of 23 groups) were demonstrating how they might raise the “justice” theme in their home settings. For example, with diversity training one new group realized their organization’s staff and management was largely male, able-bodied, white and heterosexual. They were planning to hire a consultant to help them do an organizational audit of their policies and procedures. Reporting on Activities or Results?
Some key reporting questions to ask your team What is different after these activities? Who was directly involved in these activities? What are they doing differently now? Who was affected (outcomes) What changes have you seen, in the short term and over time? How do you know? (indicators) What helped or hindered your achievement of these results? What did you learn? What would you do differently next time?, or you can ask yourselves “SO WHAT?”
Workshop Exercise - Results Reporting In your Learning Project Group… • Consider how you will report following delivery of the ‘mini’ projects • Content • Presentation • Make a plan to ensure that you have the information you need/want to report by the end of the mini-project
