🚀 Kick-off: What Does Success Look Like to You?

To get us started, take a moment to reflect and answer one (or both) of the prompts below by adding a post to the board:

“This project will be successful if _______”
“A year from now, we'll be proud that _______”

Be honest, be bold — there's no right or wrong answer. Let's capture everyone's vision of success before we prioritize.

🎯 Prioritization Time: What Does Success Really Look Like?

Now that you've written down your success criteria, it's time to prioritize.

👉 Drag and drop your posts into one of the two categories:

Must Have – These are essential for success. Without them, the project would fail.
Could Have – These would be nice to have and valuable, but they aren't critical. We can still succeed without them.

This project will be successful if we produce something tangible and activable

This is how you do it :)

This project will be successful if policy makers and senior leaders in administrations responsible for improving public services, are convinced by our work and use it

If we are able to have a real impact on national systems, having some evidence of it, that can be somehow measured.

If we have a set of tangible and measurable indicators about the fullfilment of the principles of human-centric design and rights-based approach

This project will be successful if we create something meaningful and valuable to support the public sector in their efforts to innovate their services.

LabX — 2025-04-09 14:45:10 UTC

We will be proud of have created a framework that is actionable in different contexts helping us to benchmark our results to further evolve

If our deliverables are useful for civil servants, not only for policy makers.

This project will be successful if we're able to disseminate our work to not just senior officials but to local government officials who are often interacting on a daily basis with citizens so that we can get local officials' feedback for continuous improvement.

Mandatory thorough consultation with final users about their needs

2025-04-09 14:47:05 UTC

This project will be successful if we reduce the reluctance and mistrust to measure our impact in the public sector

It may be too abstract, but I was thinking about the following approaches and criteria (regardless of the project):

Should we focus on projects that could be achieved on: short/medium/long term?
Should we focus on projects that are "specific" project's (niche), or adaptable for all countries?

Sometimes, I always consider this before

The project will be successful in terms of putting together recommendations and achieving community formation.
