Outcome Harvesting

Outcome Harvesting is a method used to evaluate whether a project or initiative has achieved its intended results. Instead of measuring success through predefined indicators, it involves collecting evidence of what has changed, understanding how and why those changes happened, and then verifying if these align with the project's goals. This approach is especially useful in complex, adaptive environments where outcomes are unpredictable. It helps organizations learn from their actions, adjust strategies, and demonstrate impact based on real-world results.
