As he sets up his business, Mohammed thinks about how to measure the difference he makes.
- What outcome he monitors. Mohammed will monitor whether people get jobs after attending his workshop.
- What measure he chooses. He will measure the percentage of workshop participants who get jobs. He sets himself a target of 90% of people getting jobs within three months of his course.
- Where he will get his information. He will ask if they’re in paid employment. If they are, he will ask when they started work. If they aren’t, he will ask if they have a job that they will be starting soon. Both will be yes/no questions. He will survey course participants using Survey Monkey. When they sign up for his workshops, he will ask if he can survey them three months after their workshop.
- What information he compares. He will look at Stats NZ’s employment rates for Auckland. If the city’s unemployment rate is low, his workshop participants should be finding jobs too, otherwise his workshop is not effective.
- When he measures. He will send out surveys three months after each workshop.
- How he saves the information. He will save his survey results securely in Google Drive, with folders organised by month.
