How We Measure Success

How We Measure Success
We measure impact by real shifts in behaviour, communication, wellbeing, and crew retention.
Success also means growing a diverse, engaged community and producing tangible outputs—reports, roundtables, and shared insights—that influence decision-makers.
Ultimately, success is reflected in personal transformation: when individuals grow, the entire industry moves forward.
