Data source(s) | Questions | Focus of the analysis |
---|---|---|
Documentation and interviews: Purpose of the organisation, mission, vision, strategy | • What is the purpose of the organisation? • How does your organisational strategy help to achieve this purpose? | • Are these documents internally consistent? • Is there an alignment between these documents and the ‘current state’ of the organisation? |
Documentation and interviews: Capability and capacity of the organisation | • What are the strengths of your organisation? • What barriers does your organisation face? | • How is the organisation structured? • What is the level of capacity and capability in the organisation to achieve its purpose? |
Documentation and interviews: Funding and resourcing in relation to strategy: key contracts/funding | • What has been the approach to funding over time? • What has been the organisation’s response to changes in the funding streams available over time? | • Develop a map of current contracts and funding streams. • What are the current strategic relationships (with providers, funders, other partners) at an organisational level. |
Documentation and interviews: How could the organisation operate more effectively in the system? Change and cost of change | • What sort of shifts are difficult for the organisation to cope with? • Have shifts in external funding streams been linked to performance? • What has been the impact of these changes in relation to equity? | • Key relationships and contracts for the organisation. • When organisations are forced to be opportunistic in relation to funding opportunities this can result in a significant ‘cost of change’. Have any changes in funding/direction been ‘evidence-based’? • How could the system support organisations to be more effective? |
Documentation and interviews: Measurement, reporting, performance and role of organisation | • How does the organisation know if it is achieving its purpose? • Are the metrics specified by funders or the organisation effective measures of performance? | • Are organisations ‘policy takers’ or do they influence the system? • Are there opportunities for organisations to better utilise data to more effectively influence the system and/or guide funding decisions? |
Documentation and interviews: Organisational strategy | • Does the organisation focus specifically on pre-diabetes, or is effort in this area included as part of a broader focus on long term conditions, determinants of health, or another planned strategy? | • Is there evidence of an emergent, opportunistic approach or a planned strategic approach to service provision? • Are the benefits of a longer-term strategy and the ability to align resources (including relationships) evident, including systems approaches? |
