S.A.L.E. Method: Four steps from opportunity to results. Sourcing, Assessing, Listening, Empowering.

Four steps

S. Sourcing

Find the organizations, communities and opportunities where help will matter most.

A. Assessing

Understand the situation and score each opportunity before committing resources.

L. Listening

Gather feedback before, during and after delivery so solutions fit the people they serve.

E. Empowering

Equip partners and their communities to carry the work forward, and share what works.

P.U.R.E.S. scoring

Opportunities are scored on five factors: Profitability, Urgency, Reachability, Engagement and Sustainability. The score helps us decide where to focus first.

Origins

The approach grew out of a patented methodology (U.S. Patent 9,971,979) for turning strategy into implemented, tangible results. It is now offered at no cost to organizations that serve their communities.
