Measuring progress and impact is only useful if you’re willing to act on the results. Once we’ve gathered feedback, our program presidents and CEO decide whether to continue with the existing strategy or to make adjustments. If necessary, they seek approval from Bill and Melinda to change course.
Example:
Washington State Achievers Program - United States Program
We launched the Washington State Achievers Program in 2001 to improve graduation and college-going rates at 16 struggling high schools. We found that we can’t expect schools to take on ambitious improvement initiatives without engaging everyone in the process and without gaining the support of their districts. These lessons have affected how we work with schools and districts throughout the country, including the Achievers scholarship program we launched in Washington, D.C., in 2007.
