Ricardo Wilson-Grau started working in the early 2000s as an independent evaluator and organisational development consultant supporting social change organisations, in particular networks, and private donor programmes. Beginning in 2002, working closely with co-evaluators and commissioners of evaluations, Ricardo developed Outcome Harvesting (OH) to enable evaluators, grant makers, and managers to identify, formulate, verify, and make sense of changes that interventions influenced in a broad range of cutting-edge innovation and development projects and programs around the world.
In 2019, we, Carmen Wilson-Grau, Goele Scheers and Conny Hoitink, took over the role of facilitating the Outcome Harvesting Community, after the death of Ricardo Wilson-Grau in late 2018. Our mission is to facilitate continued practice and further development of Outcome Harvesting. We all worked closely with Ricardo.
