SUMMARY:Crafting Meaningful & Measurable Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Outcomes measurement is another tool\, another language\, for capturing and sharing your organization’s story. Unfortunately\, in too many organizations\, this work focuses on counting what’s easy to count instead of measuring what’s meaningful.
