Shared measurement processes are a powerful support mechanism for making visible the the collective outcomes that are possible when organisations band together as a community united around a common social goal.
Between 2014 and 2017, a collaboration of agencies from across the public, private and non-profit sectors committed to helping the most disadvantaged members of their community to find safe housing with secure tenure. Essential to this were highly skilled teams of social workers within a robust network of collaborating agencies across the health, housing, domestic violence, justice and youth sectors. A reliable, accessible and transparent measurement system supplemented this for accountability, acknowledgement and further advocacy.
The larger and more diverse the community involved, the greater the complexity, yet the simpler the processes need to be and the greater the pressure to design measurement tools that are easy to access, understand and incorporate into business-as-usual processes. We believe that any measurement process, however comprehensive, is only useful if it is actually used. At Emerge, we work with you to unpack the complexities and find solutions that are the most practical, relatable, sensible for your organisation.
