When to use
After you have been doing the Impact Ladder worksheet, and you want to highlight how your activities lead to change over time.
Why you should
To identify and communicate your rationale behind your solution, and how your activities will have the impact you want.
What you get
A visual narrative that summarises the final set of activities in your solution, and the way that each of these will lead to change over time.
Steps to take
Begin with writing the following on Post-it notes: IMPACT, OUTCOMES, and INPUTS and put them up on the wall. Order the with IMPACT at the top and INPUTS at the bottom. You can also split the IMPACT, OUTCOME and INPUT in several areas if that makes sense to your case.
Now, pull out the Impact Ladder worksheet.
Write your various outputs/outcomes on Post-it notes and organise them on your wall at the level they correspond to. Aim for a clear structure, or flow, that visualises how one thing leads to another. This bit can be abit complex if you have many solution components.

This method is good when you need to communicate the rationale behind the solution quickly to others and how the different activities will work towards the impact you want.
