Rick’s Methods:
This section of the website focuses on a small number of methods that I have been trying to develop over the years: (But please note: my approach to M&E is not limited to these methods)
- Most Significant Change (MSC): A method of monitoring and evaluating change without the use of indicators
- The Basic Necessities Survey (BNS): A democratic and rights based approach to the measurement of poverty. Simple and easy to use.
- Hierarchical Card Sorting (HCS): A simple method of eliciting and documenting people’s informal and tacit knowledge. Useful for managing and evaluating portfolios of projects/partners, stakeholder analysis, and scenario planning.
- Evolving storylines: A participatory method of developing multiple alternative views of the future, or interpretations of the past.
- Network models: An alternative approach to representing theories of change (and what is actually happening), especially as captured by the Logical Framework
- Weighted checklists: A participatory means of measuring complex change. In place of simplistic simple indicators.
- Participatory analysis and aggregation of qualitative information (yes, I know, I need a shorter name!!)
The “Rick on the Road” blog also contains many other postings on new methods and approaches, some of which have been developed more than others.
