Organisational Impact Framework: Roses in the Ocean
Status: Current - expected to be completed July 2022.
Client: Roses in the Ocean
Background
Australia’s leading lived experience of suicide organisation, Roses in the Ocean exists to save lives and to reduce emotional distress and pain. Roses in the Ocean collaborates with individuals and organisations across the community, corporate, health and government sectors to effectively and meaningfully engage lived experience of suicide expertise with all aspects of suicide prevention. Driving system reform, co-designing innovative services, and affecting cultural change are key focuses of Roses in the Ocean.
Roses in the Ocean is developing an organisational impact framework to demonstrate how the work of the organisation translates to lasting impact across communities, sectors and systems. The aim of the impact framework is to enable Roses in the Ocean to better understand the impact of its work, design future services to maximise impact and will guide how the organisation monitors, evaluates and reports on the impact of its activities.
Approach
The project will be guided by the following phases and activities:
Phase 1: Desktop research - undertake a tightly scoped research process to define the objectives, structure and content of a model impact framework, consisting of identification and desktop review of a selection of relevant organisational impact frameworks across the health and social services sector.
Phase 2: Staff engagement - capture an informed perspective of the outcomes generated by Roses in the Ocean through targeted engagement with a small cross-section of staff and management in order to identify key outcome areas and impacts that the organisation achieves. Consultation with external stakeholders at the Roses in the Ocean Lived Experience of Suicide Summit 2021 will capture information about the desired lived experience outcomes as well as the role of Roses in the Ocean in achieving them.
Phase 3: External stakeholder engagement - Consultation with external stakeholders at the Roses in the Ocean Lived Experience of Suicide Summit 2021 will capture information about the desired lived experience outcomes as well as the role of Roses in the Ocean in achieving them.
Phase 4: Developing the framework - A comprehensive document will be produced for internal use, together with a brief summary of the framework to be communicated publicly by Roses in the Ocean.
Phase 5: Supporting implementation - Implementation of Roses in the Ocean’s impact framework will be supported by Beacon Strategies.
