ABOUT THE CLIENT Go Laadliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to empower young women to become problem solvers, leaders and change makers by investing in their education, providing leadership opportunities, and by catalyzing changes in social attitudes. In April 2017, they launched The Go Laadli - Lead Like a Girl Challenge. High school girls were asked to write about the problems they thought affected girls and women in India and suggest ways to solve them. From different parts of India--urban and rural, rich and poor--girls took up the challenge, voiced their opinions, identified problems and proposed solutions. They shared their stories and those of the women and girls they spoke with.

INTRODUCTION

Measurement of impact/success:

THE CHALLENGE

The efficiency and effectiveness of the judging process will be determined by the time required by the judges to grade each submission and the quality of candidates selected. Feedback surveys from the judges + interviews with our top candidates (along with their level of engagement and leadership in GAB + mentoring programming) should be good ways to measure both efficiency and effectiveness of the judging process.

FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY 1. Case for support for individual donors and corporations 2. Business Model Development Measurement of impact/success: Implementation of the strategy and revenue generation. Increased amounts of funds generated + better engagement with individual donors and corporates + increased funds generated through the business model.

EXPANSION TO THE US 1. Assessing need and potential impact of piloting the Challenge and the partnership initiative in the United States

2. Determining appropriate incentive for participation 3. Determining a revenue model Measurement of impact/success: Successful implementation of the pilot (targeting late 2020/2021) in terms of number of students participating, the impact generated and financial sustainability of the program. 8

which can take substantial time.

Creating a small business around the monetization of data gathered by the Go Laadli participants in the course of their social innovation projects was identified. However, building this type of business would require that Go Laadli gain three new capabilities. First, the ability to gather quantitative data along with qualitative data, which if done by the Go Laadli participants would require training. Second, the ability to find the relationships between the data points, and to posit their causation or correlation to define why the small data gathered is valuable or actionable. Last, finding a business partner interested in buying the data is dependent upon trust in Go Laadli, established either by a relationship between the business leaders of other organization, or by proving a stringent and trustworthy methodology for data gathering.

CORRELATE Small Data cannot be delivered as data alone, but has to be processed for connections / causation / correlation and this capability has to be learned and developed

She had a lot of relatable experiences to that of the organization, she goes on to say, “I went to school in India, I actually grew up there. So when I was doing my undergrad, I was involved with a similar organization; I actually was involved in mentorship. I have had experience with that and seen how amazing it can turn out. So I just wanted to do the same thing.” Rachel is now a mentor for the girl’s in the Go Laadli organization. Rachel believes in the mission and goal of the Go Laadli program, she sees opportunities to scale and grow the initiative. “I think this mentorship program is going to increase in its size. Having more mentors and mentees. I know Heera is trying to fundraise for this program and other programs a part of the organization. I hope she does get the funds that she needs because I really hope that this becomes a bigger program. I see these girls benefiting from this mentorship in many ways. In realizing their interests to how important it is for them to be independent. I really hope they get the guidance that they need.” When asked about the potential of her mentoring more than one Go Laadli girl, Rachel was very receptive and open to the idea. “There is easily room to mentor 2 girls at a time. I think if we can somehow tackle the time lag situation, it’s definitely possible.” Rachel did mention that the time difference is a pain point in the mentorship program. “The one thing that I have discussed with Heera in the past is the time difference from here and India. I feel like when we [Rachel and mentee] do have to cancel our sessions it’s mostly because of that. Weekday’s it’s impossible to schedule calls”. 34

Digging into Sonya’s experience with the GAB, she had a lot of positive things to say, but that doesn’t come without some disappointment that the GAB sessions were ending. “It was really fun for all of us- by the end of the last workshop we were all like ‘This should not end, this should continue’. Each one of us learned something new, got to shed our fears...” GAB has a powerful impact, Sonya described the experience as leaving her with, one major thing that she took away - confidence. “I am a person who likes to meet different people...when it comes to myself, I don’t like talking a lot, these workshops helped me in gaining confidence.”

through on their Lead Like a Girl Challenge solutions. That is not a simple task, she says, “The thing is, we would need somebody (like an organization) to keep us together or to guide us because there has to be a backing source if we were to continue with it. So we would need some support from somewhere to do it”

PAYAL | GO LAADLI APPLICANT & GAB PARTICIPANT SONYA | GO LAADLI APPLICANT & GAB PARTICIPANT Go Laadli’s initiative is revered throughout the Indian school systems, Sonya went on to say that, “Everyone in the school knew about [Go Laadli] and people were praising [Heera] and all of that -it was then that we got to know how prestigious this platform this and how good this challenge can be.” While there is always room for improvement, when asked about the GAB program pushing the envelope and finding productive and exciting sessions, like creating a design project, Sonya replied by saying, “Sometimes these workshops got a little boring because the facilitator shares a lot of stuff with us. That can get monotonous sometimes. What I wanted more was more ice breaking sessions. wanted a little more fun activity to be there to make it a little more light and fun because we were discussing such serious topics.”

Payal is an applicant of the Lead Like a Girl Challenge. Her participation with GAB was a short stint and left her feeling like she didn’t want it to end. “By the end of the last workshop, we thought this should not end, this should continue... we were all very happy, we all learned something new and shed our fears…” The diversity and connection of all these girls brought about shared views and different opinions which enlightened all the girls. Payal says, the strong impact of the GAB workshops had on participants left them wanting more opportunities such as “the Daring workshops we had, they were very good so we could have increased the number of those workshops”. Looking more into the GAB’s possible workshops Payal felt that the girl’s were not able to follow

ANALYSIS, SYNTHESIS AND IDEATION

SYNTHESIS

KEY INSIGHTS During our research process, we interviewed various key stakeholders in the Go Laadli organization, including judges, mentors, and participants. Among the participants we spoke to, one theme we heard repeatedly was around a positive experience with the Girl Advisory Board. Participants highlighted that it was the most enjoyable, most memorable, and most rewarding aspect of the program. They also stated a desire to extend the Girl Advisory Board experience to be longer than its current six months. The pattern that emerged from our conversations with participants led to our first key insight.

KEY INSIGHT: 1

The Girl Advisory Board is the most valuable experience

ANALYSIS, SYNTHESIS AND IDEATION

SYNTHESIS

KEY INSIGHTS As we explored the structure of the organization and spoke with various volunteers about their roles, we learned that the volunteers are fairly siloed within their roles and that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently much of a relationship between individuals in different roles. We also found that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an infrastructure that allows foundational and essential processes to operate on their own. As it stands, every process is individually and manually completed rather than a seamless flow of automated processes. Our findings about the roles of volunteers and the nature of their processes led to our second key insight.

KEY INSIGHTS Another theme we heard repeatedly throughout our interviews with individuals in various roles was related to the nature of the Lead Like a Girl challenge. We heard high praise in regards to the structure and requirements of the challenge and how it really gives these young girls an opportunity to explore their potential, think outside the box, and explore new ways of thinking about problems. The feedback we heard about the challenge led us to our third key insight.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS • How to best capture information needed to make the exercises successful?

• How to share information in multiple channels? Whatsapp (more popular), Instagram, vs, Facebook

• Are some exercises better suited for certain channels?

PLANNING At this point in the journey Heera wanted us to pivot and focus on how the girls could become community leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. This could potentially be our path forward depending on the success of the “prototype”

• Step by step instructions of how to share info -- 3-4 steps max • Content police? Does Go Laadli have an insta account that can receive these challenges and publishes the info on their pages? 1-2 posts a day?

• Collection of examples that we can share with the girls -- who is already doing this, and how can it be tailored to their communities?

HOW DOES THIS TIE INTO OUR GAB EXPANSION PIECE? Potentially really well since this can be an opportunity to test for our

• How might we distribute the award / monetary prizes to the girls (in light of these mini challenges)?

Unfortunately, after our brainstorming session Heera decided to not pursue this idea anymore. Instead she wanted us to pivot our attention to data monetization and scaling the judging process. which we will discuss in the following pages.

the responsibility of the individual girl to keep her Notion page up to date. Heera, judges, and mentors may review the girls’ Notion pages at any time and provide feedback or endorsement comments. The individual Notion pages will be linked to one master page managed by Heera for ease of access. The Notion pages will be public and can be viewed by future recruiters, prospective Go Laadli donors, etc. If a girl achieves all of the Go Laadli badges, she will be awarded a certificate and a verbal endorsement on her Notion page to speak to the value that she has provided and the skills she has gained. If funds are available, she may also receive a financial incentive to help work towards her professional goals.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

KEY CONSIDERATIONS:

The Go Laadli Professional Leadership Certification is a gamified personal development and achievement initiative with the goal of giving members of the Girl Advisory Board real-world opportunities

After this kickoff minimal meetings should be required moving forward, as process should be able to operate seamlessly. Heera, in partnership with judges and mentors, will develop a list of tasks to be done. These should not be tasks expressly created to give the girls tasks to complete, rather they

Using Google Docs or an organization tool of choice, Heera will outline tasks to be done and the GAB members will be able to assign themselves a task to work on. After a girl has completed her assigned task, she will mark it complete in the tool and submit it for review. Heera, judges, and mentors will collectively review the work and provide a star, or multiple stars towards one medallion or multiple medallions, depending on the nature of the work

and how adequately the work was completed. There are medallions for both technical skills and for adaptive skills, so multiple stars may be received for one project. Once a girl has received 3 stars in one area, she earns the medallion for that area. All of the tasks completed, stars earned, and medallions 76

In speaking with a participant, we chose to bring her experience and ideas to life with this visual depiction of the interview. In this conversation we uncovered a great deal of interest and pride in the GAB experience, as this is where stronger connections in the girls experience existed. We also uncovered an exciting opportunity and interest of the girls to advance the experience and move the challenge ideation to challenge exploration or execution.
