Why are your “Results” not positive? Excerpts from My result 24/7
Excerpts from My result 24/7 -Why
are your “Results” not positive?
• “Resources are shrinking and increasing demand
for better quality results. There is also an Increasing need to improve
efficiency and accountability for results. Time is running out” A
result is a describable or measurable change that is derived from a cause and
effect relationship. RESULT = CHANGE, CAUSE
= EFFECT.
Inputs are few, inputs are not just right and inputs
are not use properly? Other causes are activities are not carry out properly,
in time or are not just align. Another
factor is your mind set to see the main objective as a means to an end. What
are the needs will the course of action fulfill? Another reason for results failure
is that when the project is designed without consultations. I called that lack
of stake holder’s inputs. How can they be involved? Who are your stakeholders?
Are they your Family, Mentors and coaches? Just from reading, listening to yourself --
what is your life project? Is it having
your dream home, dream car, dream relationship, happy family, good health,
wealth or maybe all of the above? What are you doing about it? What are you willing to let go – Remember some
project take a life time and others are schedule to complete in stages.
A
typical Result Base work planned
You
will have your Inputs, you will carry out some activities, you must gauge from
time to time to measure your progress towards your result, You will verify by
checking your inputs and activities. When you follow this plan you will
definitely get a chain of results in the form of Output, Outcome, and Impact.
But what are they? How will they help you achieved the results you desired. See
how I define them. Input: These are
human, material, financial and other resources that are required to undertake
activities
Activities:
Actions taken or work performed to produce specific outputs through mobilizing
inputs
Output:
These are the immediate results as a consequence of completed activities
Outcome:
These are likely or achieved short-term and medium- term effects of outputs
Impact:
Long-term effects that the logical consequence of the achievement of the
outcomes. In other words what your results have contributed to your personality
or to your community. This is the blue print, this is your result plan follow
it to achieve your results.

results using RBM concept
