The Most Significant Change Technique
Serrat, Olivier | January 2009
Abstract
The Most Significant Change technique helps monitor and evaluate the performance of projects and programs. It involves the collection and systematic participatory interpretation of stories of significant change emanating from the field level— stories about who did what, when, and why, and the reasons why the event was important. It does not employ quantitative indicators.
