Common Challenge

• Partners have different goals.

Insights

Work together to discuss the goals under consideration, including how they fit into the agreed-upon priorities, funding opportunities, and potential impact of the goals. Reaching consensus means involving all partners in conversation, and it may involve adjusting the goals to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

• We have agreed on a goal but do not have existing data to establish a baseline or target.

If baseline data does not yet exist, consider including a data collection objective as one of your very first objectives.
