We have often found ourselves discussing how we can measure success without reverting to human-centred metrics.
Although our work exists within systems that require specific outcomes for it to be considered a success, we may have other end goals for our work. For example, defining success in an ecological context is not necessarily about visibility or recognition, but instead reduced harm, increased habitat, and continuity of life processes.
However, when we reconsider traditional definitions of success, other questions arise.
How can we sustain practice within systems that still demand justification?
How do we work towards these alternate definitions of success while still meeting required traditional definitions of success within the systems in which our work takes place?
