... And the start of an even better one!
Michelle Jensen (my best friend, business partner, and Idea Popcorn Generator) and I took on a small project a few months ago -- we agreed to help a local organization that is working with several villages in Kenya to build community capacity.
Capacity for what?
Well, everything. It started with schools. Morphed into adult literacy. Spread into water wells, ecology, farming... All led by the needs of each community.
The problem was: how to organize all of these activities into an Annual Report / Presentation to potential donors?
The answer: The Annual Measure of Success (AMOS), (c) Kim Sherman and Michelle Jensen. (Email me if you are interested in the tool).
The Kenya director seemed very excited. Michelle may peddle the AMOS to some NGOs in Central and South America while she is there this Winter and Spring, and I'll see if a few other programs are interested in using the tool to measure their success.
Of course, the key to knowing if you've been successful is to start by defining what success will look like.
True in schools, in NGOs, in private businesses.
True in life...
