This proposal has a broad scope with the goal to support the PSE teams and the PSE as an organization in the creation of multiple Impact Frameworks to be used in:

• The generation and tracking of quarterly KPI’s, half year /yearly goals and milestones,
• Lay the ground for an efficient peer review process among teams in similar development stages
• Inform and improve the Grant selection, issuance and evaluation process to support PSE’s Goals and desired impact.

Modules of the project:

1. Setting up the Development Teams for a successful 2025:

Start the process by working with each of the development teams to ensure that impact is defined bottoms up; prioritizing the perspectives and knowledge of the project leads and their teams in relation to the problem space their project is developed in. These teams will be prioritized as they have a tight deadline to meet in terms of setting their KPI’s for the next year (mid Jan). Goal: Equip Team Leads with the information and tools needed to create their Project Deliverable based on the interview findings, research and KPI and metrics development and outline a process for teams to evaluate their KPIs quarterly and improve strategies where needed.
