Gauging ImpactGauging Impact
Gauging impact identifies and monitors (tracks) the key measures used to validate interim and final results, and what is happening in the current/new situation. Gauging impact answers the question: “How do we know we’re winning?”
“What are the results?”

Tracking Primary Tracking Primary ElementsElements
The primary elements that need to be tracked can be found in the objective (What are the critical measures?) and the situation analysis (What are the root causes/driving forces? What else might change that would significantly alter the situation?

Tracking Critical Tracking Critical FactorsFactors
Gauging impact tracks the factors critical to the problem/opportunity at hand. It is not to be confused with monitoring plan milestones. There should be one set of tracking measures for the entire STOP™ analysis… not for each strategy.

ExamplesExamples
In addition to these “complex” measures for gauging impact, there can be any number of other measures required to monitor the specific details of the situation analysis and the plans. For example, each significant action step may require its own tracking measure that assures on-time, efficient and effective completion.
