Ways to evaluate your impact assessment

Pros

Cons

1. Each step in your impact approach (i.e. systematically going through each phase)

• Ensures nothing is forgotten

• Rigid process

• Might take more time

2. The whole process (i.e. i.e. leave it open for your colleagues to share what they thought went well and didn't)

• Most important discussion points likely to surface organically

• Some aspects may have been forgotten about, particularly after some time has passed

3. Specific part(s) of your impact assessment (i.e. choose one or more parts of the impact assessment, such as impact measurement, narration, etc.)

• Helps focus on improving specific areas of your impact assessment process

• Useful if you don’t have much time

• Useful if you are already very skilled in impact assessment and want to improve in specific areas

• Your priority areas might be different from others in your team

• May lose the opportunity to collect feedback and improve in other areas
