This extract from the MOTION Handbook explains how transformative outcomes are a key ingredient in the transformative theory of change approach. It highlights how transformative outcomes reflect and make tangible the underlying ‘theory’ (the multi-level perspective), guiding us to think through the process of system transformation, and sets out how the 12 transformative outcomes help … from Transformative outcomes as a way to organise transformative portfolios
This introductory workshop tool helps us to think about how we might identify the 12 transformative outcomes in experimental projects and policies. In group, users start by picking one or more transformative outcomes from three macro-process that lead to transformation. They then answer a series of questions to aid thinking about how that transformative outcome … from Tool: Identifying transformative outcomes in projects and policies
