Measuring Program Outcomes: A Practical Approach from the United Way of America


Measuring Program Outcomes: A Practical Approach, United Way of America

Original article: Creating-Value-in-the-Nonprofit-Sector.pdf



Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
This is a popular way of presenting an operational entity and its related elements ... but is difficult to use to show progress and performance in a clear and simple way.
  • The operational entity is the 'Non-Profit Organization'
  • The related elements are:
    1. Social Trends
    2. Competition
    3. Public Perceptions
    4. Technology
    5. Political
    6. Regulations
    7. Primary Customers (Receivers of Products and Services)
    8. Supporting Customers (Donors, Contributors, etc.)
But how are they related? This is not described or explained. How are these elements trending?

Measuring Program Outcomes: A Practical Approach, United Way of America

The basic framing referenced by the United Way of America is as follows:
  • INPUTS
  • ACTIVITIES
  • OUTPUTS
  • OUTCOMES
OUTCOMES are subdivided into these sections:
  • OUTCOMES
    • INITIAL
    • INTERMEDIATE
    • LONG TERM
Though this is referred to as a 'Logical Frameworl', it reaslly is not!

TrueValueMetrics (TVM) is an Open Source / Open Knowledge initiative. It has been funded by family and friends. TVM is a 'big idea' that has the potential to be a game changer. The goal is for it to remain an open access initiative.
WE WANT TO MAINTAIN AN OPEN KNOWLEDGE MODEL
