4. Short-term recommendations
Making Room for Recovery
Community groups and civil society organisations need to take time to recover. As part of this recovery, we recommend mapping the change that has occurred so far and actively planning for uncertainty.
This can be done by an individual team, by one organisation or community group, or across a number of organisations.
Recovery is under-rated and hard to prioritise. We have made the Glimmers Toolkit to make it easier to set out what has been achieved and understand what kinds of restorative activity are needed.
This is a lightweight set of thoughtful exercises for teams and organisations to reflect and:
map the ways they have changed and adapted during the pandemic
review and analyse that change
consider the new roles and skill sets that might be needed
set KPIs that help to achieve your future mission
If this is a moment of more general strategic change and refresh, there are a number of other tools that might help understand the rapid change of the last few months and how technology fits into that. These include Omidyar’s Ethical Explorer, the ODI Data Ethics Canvas, Doteveryone’s Consequence Scanning, and CAST’s Collab Digital Training.
