When is the best time to reframe your work?
What you leave with
The reframe of your work from day-to-day activities to the outcome that you exist to create in your community.
Every word in this sentence matters. It’s the statement that you’re going to be looking back at to say, “Well, should I do this or that?”
Identifying the barriers that exist to that impact statement being true and strategies that either do or could exist to remove those barriers.
We then take a look at some of your current activities and identify whether or not they fit the structure and how.
A mining exercise
Reviewing a few existing materials and talking about where the organization’s energy is being spent today.
Crafting the impact statement
Creating the statement together that wholly represents the reason your organization exists.
Reflecting on the Impact Framework
Taking a look at how the work we’re doing today does and does not fit within our impact statement, the new identity that we’ve built.
“The impact statement itself is a substantive reframing of the work.”
Board member“The impact framework document itself is incredibly useful in consolidating all the information I have been working through in my head.”
