This paper reflects on the evolving use of Outcome Mapping 20 years after the first publication on this approach.
The resource also provides a "set of guiding practices to support transformative change":
"Three principles inherent in Outcome Mapping
- Social, policy & systems changes depend on changes in human behaviour
- People contribute to their own wellbeing
- Sustained improvements in people’s lives or environments depend on relationships
Four core concepts necessary for effective use of Outcome Mapping
- Outcomes understood as changes in behaviour
- Spheres of influence
- Contributions to outcomes, not attribution
- Setting actor-centred boundaries
Five guiding practices for using Outcome Mapping to support transformational change
- Facilitate inclusive & equity-focused participatory change processes
- Be accountable to learning at individual, team and organisational levels
- Grow a complex adaptive system view, & embrace uncertainty & experimentation
- Commit to iterative, collective sense-making with inductive & data-driven reasoning
- Lead from context & combine Outcome Mapping with other approaches as needed."
