Ganz et al. Theory of Change Tool

Building on Ganz et al.'s Tool to analyze the Power Landscape, let's turn those answers into a Theory of Change that can Organize your Activities to be laser focused, while helping you to avoid unnecessary K2A busy work.  

In particular, recall Questions:

8.  Who is our constituency? Our leaders? Our Supporters?  Our competition?  Our Opposition?  Those on the sideline?

9.  What do we have that is wanted by those with the power to make the change?

10. How can get more of what is wanted by those with the power to make the change?  Or hinder them from getting what they want? 

 

Now that we know this information, let's translate it into an If... Then... Because statement.

IF our people do..., THEN those with the power to make the change will..., BECAUSE those with the power want...

 

Once you have this succinct Theory of Change, turn it into an Organizing Statement:

We are organizing WHO to achieve WHAT through How by When.
