Summary

The Roadmap is for everyone working towards the creation of positive social impact in Australia who wants to measure the change they make for individuals, organisations, communities and society. You may be the person implementing the program, initiative, or actions, the project manager, leader or the whole team. As you will see throughout this guide, the role of measuring is scattered throughout the organisation.

The guide takes you through the following steps: 

  • Clarifying the context for measurement
  • Planning for measurement
  • Program design
  • Understanding what to measure
  • Developing an outcomes framework
  • Data collection and monitoring 
  • Analysing impact
  • Communicating and implementing change
