90-Day Community Win

What could this idea change?

The work is designed to produce a completed delivery and evidence pack supporting a continue, adapt or stop decision; the central local boundary is that enthusiasm cannot override community evidence, partner authority, volunteer capacity, safeguarding, budget or exit planning.

A simple way to start

1. Write the decision brief for 90-Day Community Win: define which project should stop, strengthen, combine or move into a bounded trial, the starting evidence, people affected, local authority, resource limit, success signals and stop conditions. Who could lead it: Club board sponsor and renewal lead
2. Invite members with varied experiences and affected community partners where appropriate, show what is open or fixed, make access practical and record trade-offs and minority views. Apply this specifically to 90-Day Community Win and record which relevant experiences or users are still missing. Who could lead it: Club board sponsor and renewal lead with the access and privacy contacts
3. Build and test a bounded 90-day initiative with a clear outcome, participant choices, safeguards and decision date for 90-Day Community Win; complete the 90-Day Community Win Initiative Delivery Blueprint, rehearse the boundary wording and confirm who may decide, refer, pause, recover or close the work. Who could lead it: Facilitator and workstream owner
4. Use a time-bounded change with named authority, capacity and stop conditions; compare evidence with the starting point and make unfinished work, unintended effects and resource pressure visible. Capture only the evidence needed to judge whether 90-Day Community Win advances a focused sustainable service portfolio. Who could lead it: Facilitator and workstream owner
5. Compare the evidence with the starting point, validate meaning with affected participants or users, record gaps and unintended effects and prepare a completed delivery and evidence pack supporting a continue, adapt or stop decision without overstating what the trial proves. Who could lead it: Facilitator and workstream owner with an independent reviewer

What should we look for?

• Review 90-Day Community Win after 90 days. Look for whether fewer weak projects drift, stronger projects show community value and volunteer effort fits real capacity, and write down one decision the evidence supports.
• 90-Day Community Win produces a completed delivery and evidence pack supporting a continue, adapt or stop decision by the promised decision date, with evidence limitations, participation gaps and unintended effects stated.
• People affected can explain the purpose, their choices, the boundary and how to raise an access, privacy, safety or governance concern.
• The trial shows whether a focused sustainable service portfolio improved from the recorded starting point without shifting hidden workload, risk or exclusion elsewhere.
• Every accepted action has an owner, due date and completion evidence, and the club records a reasoned continue, adapt, refer, scale or stop decision.

Before we say yes

• Does it fit a real local need?
• Can people take part safely and fairly?
• Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
• Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
