Ripple Effects Mapping

 

Webinar Date: May 12, 2021

 

Webinar Description

Identifying the impacts of complex community work is often challenging due to the time lag between the work and the ultimate affects to the clients. Ripple Effects Mapping gives you the ability to tell your stories of the direct and indirect impacts of your work, while simultaneously being engaging and fun. It starts with appreciative inquiry interviews in small group settings, before leading a mapping process that involves storytelling in an online group setting. As participants share their experiences with the facilitator, their stories about the accomplishments, partnerships, and contributions are virtually mapped on the screen. At the conclusion, the participants will have a digital map that contains the learning, actions, and condition changes that happened as a result of a program, workshop series, or event.

 

Objectives

  1. Introduce members to the benefits of using Ripple Effects Mapping to identify the intended and unintended outcomes.
  2. Demonstrate how it captures impacts of complex or evolving work.
  3. Show how it is useful when outcomes are difficult to conceptualize & measure with other methods.
