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.
- 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 logic models of development, especially as captured by the Logical Framework
- Weighted checklists: A Participatory Means Of Measuring Complex Change
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.
