Do you have data that you’ve never really used because you just haven’t had time? Or you used it in one way, but know you could answer even more questions? For example, you’ve given trainings or facilitated groups several times, briefly reviewed any surveys you’ve collected, but never looked at the results over time.

This scenario might be familiar to some of our readers: a group of wise, talented people take time out of their busy lives, get together for a day or more, and think about an organization and its future. They create a strategic plan that is built on the best information they had available. The strategic plan is finalized and shared. Time passes, and some of those people are left wondering what happened –Was the plan ever used? Did the organization succeeded in the things it set out to do?

September always makes me excited for school. Even though I haven’t started school myself in years, I get to help my children get ready and the others around them.

When thinking about the outcomes of a program or service, we usually like to think about the impact on people: how their behavior, attitudes, or knowledge have changed. As I was reflecting on some client's expected outcomes this week, I realized that the word "change" is not clearly defined.
I came up with a short typology of change - I'd love your insights about whether there are other types of change that I have missed.
