You Bring Significant Value to the Communities You Serve…Let Us Help You Capture That Impact!

Ripple Effects Mapping

Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) is a qualitative evaluation approach that integrates appreciative inquiry, personal reflection, interactive group interviews and mind mapping. A unique feature of REM is that it allows us to gather direct feedback through the personal lens of those with whom your work engages. This can inform strategic improvement and program development. REM engages youth, stakeholders, energizes a generative process and strengthens relationships resulting in greater understanding of your impact.

  • Grant Street Consulting enlists an appreciative inquiry process called Ripple Effects Mapping (REM).

    Our team’s approach recognizes that positive results are highly influenced by positive relationships and processes: they are mutually interdependent and reinforcing. Our approach captures both intended and unintended results of your work, with a focus on celebrating successes and deepening connections to your programs and organization.

quote

"Ripple Effects Mapping added to the process in ways our board didn't anticipate. There is so much value in storytelling. It created an appetite for more time together. REM built trust, a sense of group identity and laid a strong foundation for strategic planning. We are very satisfied with the process and product."
