  • Dora must not rely on her intuition as it might mislead her. What worked for her does not necessarily mean it will work for everyone. She needs to visit for M & E data on both approaches. It will guide her in decision making.

  • In my opinion, Dora should focus to collect data and analyze the program that is most influential to low income women to get community jobs, and make decision from the results.

  • DORA MUST ATTEND MENTORSHIP SKILLS

  • Due to the reduction of funding, Dora need to maintain the mentorship program that connects women to successful female entrepreneurs, and cut the professional writing skills and another class that teaches technology skills.

  • Due to the reduction of funding, Dora need to maintain the mentorship program that connects women to successful female entrepreneurs, and cut the professional writing skills and another class that teaches technology skills.

  • In my opinion Dora, needs to collect data from the project beneficiaries before deciding to cut the technology or writing programs. She needs to have justification to decide. For this, a kind of quick assessment is very essential.

  • To best of knowledge I think the mentorship program should be cut off and their focus should be on the technology programs. This is because mentorships doesnot have a lasting solutions, those who normally rely on mentors doesnot have the confidence in doing things on their own.

  • The mentorship programme should be cut.
    Women must get job, so professional writing and technology skills are essential for them.

  • Dora can get a decision to cut the program the Mentorship, because this not necessary , but the basic And advice to the women's is the best selecting to continue, its reach to others program,
    And she most get data collect before use any decision about it, which when is best to cut out.
    after getting data collect it is very easy to conclusion about what is the output, and how it is different,
    what before belief and that is never to get decision, its makes sometimes misunderstanding, to donors of the program

  • Dora should cut the technology program
    It requires more expertise and expensive to train as compared to the writing class

  • She should make analysis of data, which will tell which program is more efficient and effective. She should make desicion according to data.

  • The decision should be driven by data,

  • Dora should look at the organization goal which is to help women from low income communities get jobs by providing professional education services. The programs that provide professional education as the goal of the organization are the class that teaches writing skills and the one that teaches technology skills. The one that connects women to successful female entrepreneurs for mentorship is an additional program that can be cut off

  • She has to listen to her intuition and keep the mentoring program while cutting out either the tech or the writing class.

  • Dora should make her decision based on the outcome of previous programs, how successful has each project being in achieving her goals and objectives.

  • Dora should check the efficacy rates of all these programs first. Maybe mentorship really works and should be kept in but does it really?

  • This is a critical decision to be made. What Dora must do is use data which has been collected for all the 3 programs, and evaluate which program has meet the intended objectives, milestone and outcomes...

  • She must depend more on data collected under evaluation and not really monitoring...

  • I do not agree with this, because it is not based on real accurate data...

  • Hi. I'm happy to be too...

  • Decisions must be data-driven... i think...

  • cut writing skills continue with technology because there is job creation in technology

  • Dora, Primeiro precisa analisar os dados de cada programa parara ver qual deles teve sucesso....

  • Dora should not make said decision based on person intuition, she much rather based her decision on facts coming from research done about the three programs.

  • What Dora needs to do is to consult with the rest of the stakeholders on what to do since funding for this for this year will be low. Every decision at this stage should back by valid information made available by either her M&E team or a hired film or individual (s). With this, Dora and her staff will make decision back by evidence. Thanks!

  • Given the technology evolutions happening worldwide, it may be best to consider adopting the technology class because of its long term benefits for the women.

  • The decision to choose which program should be stopped should be based on data and not personal experience or desire. Data should define the efficiency of programs to accomplish the target of helping women from low-income communities get jobs. Then less efficiency programs should be stopped.

  • Dora should look into past data, and use it to make a decision on the project that will be cut. The project that has the least impact on these women should be the one that should be cut.

  • Dora should keep both the writing and technology skills classes and incorporate mentorship classes between the two. This way she gets to keeping everything important to her.

  • Dora should research for data that provides evidence that a mentor-ship program will be more effective in securing employment than either technology and writing skills classes

  • Dora should research for data that provides evidence that a mentor-ship program will be more effective in securing employment than either technology and writing skills classes

  • Dora should adopt and practice evidence based decision making rather than relying on feelings and thoughts to make decisions.

  • Dora's will decide base on the available data collected store and manage ti be guided properly

  • Since the NGOs goal is to help women from low-income communities get jobs, she should consider keeping the mentorship program as this connects the women to successful female entrepreneurs. These successful women can in turn help to sponsor some of the programs by personal mentorship of these low-income women. Teaching them to write or give them technological skills will not give them direct access to jobs to better themselves.

  • This information should be gathered from evidence of any data collected that can support this theory. If there is no data indicating this then her making such a decision based on her past or feelings will not help.

  • Dora should cut out writing skills and focus on Technology

  • Technology class will be ab,e to teach Dora some basic writing skills

  • Do a quick survey and interview with the girls and their trainers with a goal to assess the impact of the three programs to the girls and their sustainability. This should inform the best alternative to take as they are all important aspects of the overall program.

  • Keeping the mentorship program is a good decision made. Dora should cut off the writing classes and keep the technology. It helps to now the current world flow,job adverts ,self employment opportunities .not even all the women will be eligible for writing in the writing classes

  • Dora should cut of the class that teaches professional writing skills

  • Dora should cut of the class that teaches professional writing skills

  • If Dora decides to keep her mentorship program it might be a good idea to remove the technology class because it will be pointless to keep a technology class when the women do not have professional writing skills.

  • i think Dora should check her data to see which of the programs is essential that impacts more on her trainees of which makes them easily employed and act according to that.

  • Dora is supposed to find out the trends in data on the following;

    1. What is the percentage of young women who get jobs after receiving Mentorship, Writing skills or Technology skills.
      the comparisons of this information against their success in their new found jobs may help Dora make a data driven decision.
  • I would advise her to cut the professional writing bit and concentrate on mentorship and technological bit.
    This is because the remaining two options can be very useful to the women in many aspects.In the meantime she could source for donor's to bring back the professional writing as time goes by.

  • Dora believes the mentorship is most efficient especially because she was part of it and might have sentimental attachment to the program. That is bias. There is need to collate data on each of the program in order to make data driven decision

  • Dora should reduce the number of women in the program and make sure she keeps the two programs: Writing Skills and the class that teaches technology. I believe this could be the best option for Dora instead of cutting one of the programs. Dora could then later on bring the other women onboard when funding is made available.

  • Dora needs to reduce the number of the beneficiaries on her program, and when funds are available in the future, she can then enroll other women into the program

  • To make a just decision, Dora needs to review both project documents and study the conditions or situations that have changed during implementation. The project whose condition has changed from the original purpose is the one to be cut off, in my opinion.

  • As I think Dora should do that stop professional writing and continues mentor ship and technology class because of the following reason :-

    1. Since currently no budget and among the service they obtain one should stop(writing skill) because in order to get job low-income women practical mentoring with technology lass preferable .
    2. mentorship program that connects women to successful female entrepreneurs the best method that women easily link to business
  • @LukmanAbdurraheem said in Module 5: Dora's Decision:

    lean

    I suggest Rual to refer to her prvious project information, because the information will make her to decide based on valid data rather than her own assumption which is not supporting by information. She should find out what the data are saying to her, based on finding she could make proper decising which might lead to good result.

  • First of all she find data on all the programmes which shows how each of the respective programme has been performing in the past. she look at how each of the programmes has impacted the lives of the women. the data can be either or both qualitative and quantitative. it from this data that decisions can be made.

  • she should cut technology and continue with mentor ship

  • Using data for decision making. This is where the analyzed data is put to actual use.

  • Dora should consider mentoring women and also providing technology skills by utilizing the available resources well. This will help the women in the low income community to continues with their service despite being unable to have professional writing skills.

  • We need data to interpret to be able to answer this question.

  • She needs to analyze her data before making decisions.

  • Dora's opinion towards what program should be cut is right. Mentorship is an essential tool because having connections for those women is essential towards getting the job. She should choose among the other two options remaining.

  • Dora may not need to cut programs, but she can, reduce some activities that are not very relevant, reduce acquisitions, travel expenses, room rental, vehicles to see if she can contain expenses.

  • Dora should consider cutting off the class that teaches technological skills, since the project involves uplifting women from low income areas who may not have access to most of the modern techolohical gadgets, writing skills class teaches basic concepts and is more relevant to their situation.

  • Dora should consider cutting off the mentorship programme since from the data it shows that its the most in-effective programme since it had the lowest number of participants hired to new jobs which is the main of the project she is undertaking.
    The program is also the most expensive between the three yet its outcome is not as expected compared to the fee charges

  • as the fund will be reduced and she want to continue linking those women to job , it is better to focus on private or public engagement , she can do whatever to train those women in order to be able to market themselves , or linkages to entrepreneurs who are interested in employing people and do advocacy for them

  • i can use that

  • i can use that

  • Her our experience tends to provide something she could do.

  • Dora was right.

  • she can follow the steps discussed in this course

  • exactly. she can follow this approach

  • Decision making process requires from us to be regularly feeded with accurate, valid, relevant and unbiased data in order to solve definitely issues. As stated, initial pieces of knowledge, our personal experiences and others point of view will be not enough to address by themselves projects and programs management comoon critical problems. And when we could get access to data, getting capable to use them correctly is most of the time challenges.

  • She should think of analysing her data well, she can't cut off programs just from personnal thought without proper analysis.

  • The best option for Dora in having objective decision on which part of the program to cut off, she should conduct needs assessment among prospect beneficiaries on which of the items is less valued and also inquire from previous beneficiaries from her program, the best aspect of the program that is less necessary. With the data that will be obtained, Dora will be able to make a sound and objective decision.

  • Especially to identify the aspect of the program that has shows to be less significance in the success story of her entire program.

  • I think dora should keep officers both from the mentorship program and writing& class that teaches technology skill both are vital in community setting ,perhaps cut down the officers which are employed to few officers .

  • dora should collect information on the beneficiaries satisfaction on the programms

  • At this time, Dora is obligated to seek mentors for these women or either herself can become a mentor for these women in the community. She has to keep the technological skills course, because in this course women will have the ability to create something regarding trades, these women will create trades to go through this course and after creating this will allow them to seek mentoring for the advancement of their trades or their business.

    What Dora will do will be to seek all these courses or teach in good conditions for good understanding in order to allow these women to develop there by creating a remunerated activity.

  • Exactly, what I have just said, in making this decision, Dora will ensure that these women will be able to find themselves knowing how to do or create something either a remunerative activity or either know any trade which will allow these women to women to come out like him, or either hook them up to whatever mentor he knows or be their mentor himself

  • It is also a good idea, for these women to know something, they force them to know how to write and read. In professional writing it helps them how to work for someone else or how to apply for a job while in the tech skills course they can sort out those who are strong at it and less strong to send them into the writing skill. professional and the others will leave in the job application.

  • First, Dora should think of which of the program (s) is the funder more interested in, why is the donor interested on it.
    What are the possible impact of all the projects on individuals, haven implemented them for sometime? This will help Dora make decisions

  • Following her intuition will result in not taking a data-driven decision, which may affect the overall outcome.
    Data must access the available data from all the program and analyze them to see which of the program is producing the desired outcomes, based on the feedback of the participants and the program which producing the least result. Her decision should be based on the result of the analyzed data.

  • Dora should access the data available for all the 3 programs, analyse them and make decisons based on the result of the data.

  • Dora should refer to the data analysis of the implementation of the programs to verify the impact of each program and the viability.

  • i think Dora should evaluate which program has yielded the best results and also if she can intertwine the programs and also consult members of her team which programs they would prefer and know what to do with the other

  • Dora should cut down the writing skills. Technology has a lot to play in an emerging community and can possibly go without writing skills.

  • I would recommend to Dora to take the decision based on a evidence not her assumption or her history, because the people are difference. So, suggest to Dora do an assessment with project target beneficiaries and decide the program to cut down based on the findings from the assessment

  • Professional education services improves the skills and performance of the staff. Technology on the other hand is key in data presentation and skills on how to use the software and hardware. I think it would be wise if Dora would drop the writing skills due to less funding

  • I agree that Dora should follow all the steps we have learned

  • Dora should use the past performance in every skill she provides to come up with the best decision making

  • Dora should choose the best skills relevant for women of low income to get Jobs. due to the present age/generation technology skills is needed most.

  • Dora should look at the data of all the programs, especially the writing skills and technology programs to guide her on which program will affect the organization less if it is cut. How does these two programs rate in terms of meeting the objectives of the program, how will it affect the operations? This will make it easier for Dora to decide which program to cut

  • Dora should reflect on the data from All 3 programs to help her make a better decision. If she zooms into the data from each program and reviews which one is the most effective and useful to the youth, then she can be able to make an infirmed decision on which one to keep.
