Project title: Organizational Health Rubric Development

Project Overview: MoveOn has developed a proposal for an organizational health rubric and a supporting reporting tool that reflects the way the organization does its work and understands its success. This tool will aggregate a set of data that MoveOn’s senior leadership team and leaders across the org can use to understand holistically how the org is performing, and to de-silo that understanding. It will be a quantitative tool used to complement qualitative analysis.

MoveOn seeks a consultant to support multiple phases of the development and implementation of this org health rubric.

Phase 2: MVP
