resources and investment
secure leadership
we have project sponsors and/or coaches on hand to help unblock barriers, keep our focus on our goals and provide encouragement

plan to invest

delivery and pathways
test
We get going and we try ideas out, planning carefully as we go but also anticipating that not everything will be 100% successful in meeting our goals
learn and reflect
we meet often, with partners, sponsors and participants, to reflect on what's going well and what needs to change
iterate
we use these reflections to build on successes, make changes or stop ideas and try something else if needed. We see all this learning as useful, even when things don't work out
relationships and storytelling
be visible
if our project is suitable for someone in the place we’re working, there's a good chance they'll hear about it
build trust with participants
we establish reciprocity with people who engage in our project, letting them know our progress and future plans, and how they can help
keep people in the loop
we share progress updates with our key audiences and our leadership, and we regularly ask them for help and insights when appropriate
evidence and evaluation
observe to generate questions
we’re learning about what questions and methods might be best for future evaluation
gain early insights
we’re establishing an open, transparent way of asking participants to share insights with us about our testing, to help improve what we do
get access to data
health partners are able to access data on relevant health outcome measures from their existing systems, to help explore progress
