STEPS
This tool will help your team plan for the types of impacts that you will measure. Ideally, you will start with a baseline analysis and then measure how much things have changed because of your interventions. This tool fits well with theories of change, or you can use it after you have completed and refined the sustainability radar.
1. Write down the main goal/s of your project and discuss how you will see if you are creating the change that you have intended.
2. Plan for intended impacts first. Discuss the breadth, depth and target of your impact.
3. Now, focus on the systemic nature of the environment that surrounds us. Your project will most likely affect other systems in ways that you have not forecasted. It is alright to not know much about these other possible impacts, but you must remember that these will exist. Which could be the UNINTENDED impacts of our project? What should you keep an eye on? Brainstorm of what these may be using the following template.
