The central question of the discussion can be summarised as "What ingredients help Outcome Mapping (OM) to change practice?" (in the big yellow circle in the diagram below). In the discussion that followed, we confirmed that some of the "ingredients" to allow OM to change practice inherently take place through the use of OM (see the green circles). The tool itself fosters an adaptive mindset where reflection and meaning-making are necessary. It provides finite frameworks where the roles and views of the people "in the sphere(s?)" are seen as crucial. Also, unlike other frameworks, the organisational practices provide specific "reality checks", such as seeking feedback from key informants, obtaining support of your next highest power and sharing your best wisdom with the world.
