IMPACT
OASIS is our answer to doing impact measuring in a complex system. It is a multi-functional tool that helps us monitor, evaluate, and learn from what we are doing. Collecting large volumes of stories about people’s real-life experiences gives us an opportunity to see patterns that might otherwise remain unnoticed. Unlike most monitoring and evaluation tools, OASIS doesn’t provide us with answers. Instead, it allows us to ask better questions and design our next wise actions to shift patterns.
Traditional impact measurement is suitable for evaluating closed systems with clear boundaries in time and space. It expects and needs a high level of predictability. This is clearly not the space in which the WE program operates. In our world things are volatile, uncertain, and highly unpredictable. This is why we do our impact measurement in a radically different way.
