Complicated management…NOT!
“Feedback mechanisms need to be made light and flexible. Reporting to donors needs to be fast, reactive, easy. Social media anybody? Imagine if, instead of providing long detailed report templates populated with data which took hours or days to compile (using up valuable staff time that could have been spent elsewhere) the public were satisfied with the medium of Story- live Tweets from the field while the response was going on, and periodic blog updates providing thoughtful analysis.
…in a rapidly evolving chaotic situation where lives are at stake, the best way we assist in protecting those rights may not be through applying Complicated management approaches or Simple compliance mechanisms, but rather in the reactions and responses of trusted individuals, working with experienced teams, making immediate judgements based on rapidly observed realities, supported by rapidly deployable resources within flexible management systems, which can then be swiftly adapted once impact and feedback mechanisms have been observed. We don’t, currently, have this.”
