Delivering / Value Mapping
Conduct a Value Mapping exercise with the core team members in order to articulate and evaluate the value created by our proposal for different stakeholders, and the relationship between them.
- Prepare your materials including stickies, markers, copies of the Value Mapping worksheet, and a virtual or physical white board.
- Identify up to three key stakeholder groups and allocate each to one circle of the venn diagram.
- The zones of intersection mark areas of shared value.
- The zone in the middle reflects value generated for all three stakeholder groups.
- Brainstorm the different types of value that you expect the solution to create for your primary stakeholder.
- Capture each idea for a potential type of value created by the solution in a separate sticky.
- Place your stickies in the stakeholder circle of the venn diagram and repeat this process with your other stakeholders.
- Move stickies to the intersections of circles in the venn diagram that represent shared values.
- Set aside or discard any duplicate stickies.
- Don’t feel pressured to make up false values that may not be true.
- Review and decide on next steps.

Delivering / Impact Measurement Framework
Complete an Impact Measurement Framework with the core team members in order to align on the measures of success that will determine if the plan has achieved the desired impact on the community.
- Write down your Inputs. These are the investments, activities or resources that you are introducing to create change.
- Write down your Outputs. Think about the direct and immediate results expected from your interventions that would indicate your inputs are succeeding.
- Write down the expected Outcomes of these activities for people in the community. These should be the changes in perceptions, beliefs and/or behaviors that you expect to see in the community over time.
- Write down the long term Impact desired by the community. This should be the ultimate goal or change that all efforts point to.

Delivering / Workstream Preparation
Conduct a Workstream Preparation exercise with the core team members in order to create delivery plans for drafting, submitting and communicating the plan.
- Schedule a kick-off meeting for the project or core team.
- Prepare the Rules of Engagement worksheet and the Workstream Preparation worksheet. Set up your session so that all team members can see virtually or physically simultaneously.
- Invite the people responsible for driving the solution across the finish line and record them in the Rules of Engagement worksheet.
- Consider the tasks that need to be completed and identify people who can best complete each.
- Record each person’s role on the team and what they will be responsible for.
- Agree as a team when and how frequently you will meet.
- Agree when and how frequently you will meet with other key stakeholders.
- Discuss and record agreements on how you will monitor yourselves.
- Create a project planning chart that is accessible to all team members.
- Set up a shared digital drive.
- Schedule milestone reflection meetings.
- Decide what you will do if you are off track.
- Begin workstream preparation by defining desired outcomes in the Workstream Preparation worksheet.
- Define project milestones for Tomorrow, Next Week, Next Month, and Next Quarter.
- Determine who is responsible for driving each milestone.
- Identify concrete, specific actions that need to be done right now for each milestone.
- Review these worksheets during all team meetings moving forward.
- Evolve these plans as needed.

Delivering / Communicating through Storytelling
Develop an innovation story with the core team members about your plan in order to iterate on our original narrative and prepare an evolved story for informing stakeholders of the plan.
- Assemble specific stories that most closely illustrate the problem your concept addresses, and reveal who is encountering the stated problem.
- Use sentiments and quotes from your interviews, observations or tests to highlight challenges.
- Choose one or two of your assembled stories to use as an example that best illustrates the problem.
- Refer back to outputs from previous exercises to look for real life evidence of the problem such as quotes or images.
- Add one or two compelling facts that demonstrate how pervasive the problem is to the community.
- Show your prototyped solution in a big, bold, crisp image.
- Tell the story of a person using the solution.
- Use photos, images, or illustrations as much as possible rather than text or bullet points.
- Describe one or two key benefits that your proposed solution will offer.
- Show evidence that the solution really works to alleviate the pain of the original problem.
- Reproduce the frames in a polished presentation format.
