Wezesha Impact partnered with Rippleworks to help their team set impactful goals and measure progress against them
Wezesha Impact is a social venture based in Uganda that equips young people with the skills they need to find and create jobs, start and grow businesses, and become civic participants. Wezesha changes the trajectory of earnings over a lifetime for the young people they serve. This increase in income has a transformative impact on their lives, their families, and their communities.
One of Wezesha’s top priorities going into the project was setting clear annual goals and effectively tracking performance. Wezesha partnered with Rippleworks to put in place a new set of OKRs to improve the way their organization sets goals and performs against them.
Wezesha Impact partnered with Laura Veith, a global human resources executive who brought decades of experience from Ontra, Jetty, Etsy, Gawker, and AOL. Together, they:
• Revised Wezesha’s SMART goals
• Outlined a goal setting and planning process
• Identified and rolled out goal and performance-tracking software
• Developed a rollout plan for the revised goal setting and planning process
