IOIOI Framework

Inputs. Outputs. Influence. Outcomes. Impact.

The IOIOI Framework articulates what you need to know, measure and monitor when delivering any strategy or campaign designed to influence social change.

The IOIOI Framework sets a structure against which to plan and strategise, develop theories of change, develop performance targets, monitor and evaluate, and report progress.

Influencer Engagement Matrix

Monitoring the influence of your advocacy and stakeholder engagement work.

The Influencer Engagement Matrix is a monitoring and evaluation tool that assesses progress in influencing the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of key target audiences. It means you can track progress towards your end goal, even if that goal (say, a policy change) is still a long way off. It uses ‘science’ (process, data) to support the ‘art’ of advocacy and influencer engagement.

Here's an example of what it looks like – but of course, it needs to be customised to the individual’s you are targeting. We’ve also developed assessment and reporting templates for reviewing your progress.

Values-Action Gap Analysis

How to increase your supporter engagement.

The Values-Action Gap is the difference between someone who cares about your cause and someone who is a sustained, ongoing support.

This model identifies all the critical requirements that you need to transition your public supporters into ongoing, active advocates. It articulates eight intersecting requirements for sustained engagement and helps teams to identify and address any gaps in their supporter engagement plans.

Mindful Influence

Micro-meditation and mindfulness for the workplace.

Meditation and mindfulness practice is a proven way improve clarity, focus and productivity, as well as help relieve stress and improve mental health.

The Mindful Influence Framework is a scalable, modern approach that uses continuous learning methodologies and equips participants with the skills to guide their own practice.

It is theoretical grounding for a fully flexible workplace program. It can be applied as a semi-structured course or drop-in sessions as part of workforce wellbeing initiatives, or as one-off team building exercises, integrated into all-staff days, leadership training, planning days, and the like.

The Framework covers diverse topics including:

• Micro meditations and mindfulness techniques for workplace settings
• Refocusing attention and managing multiple priorities
• Techniques to reset, re-energise and refocus
• Meditating with thoughts, emotions, sounds, distractions, movement
• Options for incorporating more traditional spiritual meditations, if desired by participants (but the course is secular and includes no spiritual teachings)

Using interpersonal discussion and reflection, the Mindful Influence approach helps participants understand and manage their own behaviours, as well as identify times and ways to bring meditation and mindfulness into their working routine, to avoid stress and burnout.
