The chapter presents a qualitative analysis of the implementation of the *Next Generation You* program, aimed at supporting the organizational development of Third Sector organizations. The analysis focuses on the processes activated during the program, with particular attention to the role of relationships between the Foundation, beneficiary organizations, and consultants, as well as the functioning of the support tools. The evaluative research, exploratory and qualitative in nature, was conducted through focus groups with Foundation representatives, qualitative interviews with organizations and consultants, and the analysis of monitoring materials. The results show that NGYou required all actors to take on new roles, giving rise to processes of mutual learning and adaptation. The tools introduced by the project, such as monitoring and the methodological guide, supported organizational processes, at times generating difficulties and at other times creating opportunities for reflection and change. Different modes of participation among organizations also emerged, often influencing the depth of transformation processes. Overall, focus groups and interviews outline experiences that go beyond the logic of a traditional call for proposals, activating dynamics of support and shared learning, sometimes in unexpected ways.
Il capitolo presenta un’analisi qualitativa dell’implementazione del programma *Next Generation You*, finalizzato allo sviluppo organizzativo degli enti del Terzo Settore. L’analisi si concentra sui processi attivati durante il percorso, osservando in particolare il ruolo delle relazioni tra Fondazione, enti beneficiari e consulenti, nonché il funzionamento degli strumenti di accompagnamento. La ricerca valutativa, di natura qualitativa esplorativa, è stata realizzata attraverso focus group con referenti della Fondazione, interviste qualitative a enti e consulenti e l’analisi dei materiali di monitoraggio. I risultati mostrano come NGYou abbia richiesto a tutti gli attori di assumere ruoli nuovi, dando luogo a processi di apprendimento e adattamento reciproco. Gli strumenti introdotti dal progetto, come il monitoraggio e la guida metodologica, hanno accompagnato i processi organizzativi, generando a volte difficoltà, a volte opportunità di riflessione e cambiamento. Emergono inoltre modalità di partecipazione differenti da parte degli enti, che hanno influenzato in molti casi la profondità dei percorsi di trasformazione. Nel complesso, focus group e interviste tracciano esperienze che vanno oltre la logica del bando, attivando dinamiche di accompagnamento e apprendimento condiviso, anche inattese.

Abstract
The chapter presents a qualitative analysis of the implementation of the *Next Generation You* program, aimed at supporting the organizational development of Third Sector organizations. The analysis focuses on the processes activated during the program, with particular attention to the role of relationships between the Foundation, beneficiary organizations, and consultants, as well as the functioning of the support tools. The evaluative research, exploratory and qualitative in nature, was conducted through focus groups with Foundation representatives, qualitative interviews with organizations and consultants, and the analysis of monitoring materials. The results show that NGYou required all actors to take on new roles, giving rise to processes of mutual learning and adaptation. The tools introduced by the project, such as monitoring and the methodological guide, supported organizational processes, at times generating difficulties and at other times creating opportunities for reflection and change. Different modes of participation among organizations also emerged, often influencing the depth of transformation processes. Overall, focus groups and interviews outline experiences that go beyond the logic of a traditional call for proposals, activating dynamics of support and shared learning, sometimes in unexpected ways.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
