Change doesn't just happen by itself. It is a process
Introducing the Change Process
No matter what kind of difference your project is working towards, it will involve a process. Discover how you can chart yours.
ACTIVITIES
First of all you will do things, implement ideas; in other words, run one or more Activities on on or more occasions.
Examples of things you can track:
The number of sessions you run of each type
PARTICIPATION
People will hopefully participate in your Activities; that's the Participation you can track.
Examples of things you can track:
Number of Attendees at each session
Age, Gender and demographic splits
Who attended specifically
And then as a result of of participating in your activities, the people you are hoping to change - whom we call your Participants - then begin to change.
The Three Stages of Change
Our clients find this easier to understand and more practically useful than terms like short, medium and long-term outcomes
CHANGE IN HOW PEOPLE THINK
Change always begins in the mind. You always start by changing what people know or understand.
E.g. You can track whether there has been a Change in:
Ability
Attitude
Knowledge
Beliefs
Capacity
Feelings
CHANGE IN WHAT PEOPLE DO
And then it becomes something people do once or on an ongoing basis as a new habit.
E.g. You can track whether there has been a Change in:
What someone does
Uptake of a habit
Government policy
Company policy
CHANGE IN WHAT PEOPLE HAVE
Until finally, as a result of doing new things, people have better health, more money, better relationships, safer streets, etc.
E.g. You can track whether there has been a Change in:
Wellbeing
Savings to the Economy
