“Our organization is a Connector/Divider”

People who use Do No Harm continually analyze their situations according to the issues and factors that divide individuals and groups from each other and the issues and factors that connect individuals and groups. These two basic categories of Dividers and Connectors provide them with a depth of understanding of the contexts where they work and of the impacts of their work on those contexts. Using these two categories for the basis of their program designs makes a significant difference in understanding, insight, and effectiveness.

“Our organization is a Connector/Divider”

Do not include yourself in your Dividers/Connectors Analysis. It makes it extraordinarily difficult for you to see where you are having an impact on other Dividers and Connectors. Most people when considering themselves automatically put themselves into the Connector category. Once they do this, it makes it impossible to see the organization’s impacts honestly.

Critical Detail Mapping is where you get to discuss your own interventions
