Actions vs impact
Lets keep this simple as I feel it needs to be. When developing strategic plans and accountability I often see leaders confuse actions with impact. Defining measurable impact can be difficult but is paramount to success. Before assigning resources and actions to a project most successful leaders would work out the impact they would want to see from the use of resources assigned. This is the basics of strategic planning and leadership and something Hive lacks.
Example
Measurable Impact - Onboard 10 Hive users who power up Hive and post at least 10 times.
Actions - Have a Hive representative at a crypto conference.
Resources - Cost of travel, wages and accommodation and any other promo material.
Success
So now we have a simple measurement of success at the end of the defined action, have the people who have been paid to do this achieved what they were asked to do? If they have then fantastic, this works so lets do it again. If they have not then lets not do it again or look at how we did it and the staffing performance.
Overview
Value Plan take a lot of money without any clear goal or transparent accountability and have a lack of strategic leadership. This is not saying some of what they do is not good but it is not thought out to the point of actually what the value of each action is. Because of this they cannot judge themselves the effectiveness of their actions and of the money they have obtained from the DHF.
