OutNav is unique in the way it takes a visual approach to mapping outcomes and impact.

Build outcome maps and pathways to impact to meaningfully link your activities and deliverables to the outcomes you care about. The maps then become the foundation for tracking and reporting.

On the left, a character with purple tones and a ponytail holds a pencil, writing on a placeholder box in the outcome map. On the right, another character wearing glasses holds a yellow sticky note with a camera icon to illustrate photographic evidence, placing it on another placeholder box in the outcome map.

When I think about the evaluation, it is the picture of OutNav I have in my mind, of those boxes and columns and remembering what goes where. As soon as I had that to work with, then I had a centre point in the evaluation. I knew where my feet were, I knew where we were aiming and I knew what we needed in different places and I could start to tell the story.

It is a very useful piece of software that gives structure and coherence to the information that you collect, rather than just taking notes in a Word document, for example, or gathering data in a folder somewhere. It helps you sense-make and think holistically about your change process.
