Perspective, collaboration and intentional.
After leading the CHS self-assessment process for a previous INGO employer, I quickly understood the value and depth that such an assessment can have on all aspects of humanitarian work (human, systems and everything in between). In my experience, it helped us to step away from the mechanics of the work we were doing and provided an opportunity for us to ask "is what we are doing really working?". I hope that as an HQAI auditor, I can enlighten others with the same realisation.
