What Does Success Look Like at the End of the 100 Days?
What Does Success Look Like at the End of the 100 days?
Performance
The impact indicator will have shown significant improvement by the end of the 100 days.
Experience
The experience of the team during the 100 days was positive. The team describes the experience as fun and enriching. They will be thinking: “why don’t we always work this way?”
Learning
New insights emerged about the organisation and about the issue the team was working on. Team members feel more knowledgeable and more capable of affecting positive change in the organisation.
Please note that all three elements of success are critical. So for example, if the goal is achieved, but there are no new insights that emerged, it is likely that the goal was not ambitious enough and did not require any experimentation. If the team had a horrible experience during the 100 days, it is likely that progress towards the goal was made by ‘yelling louder’ – progress that will not be sustained beyond the project, or at best beyond the tenure of the leader.
