Satnav for non-profits
Pesh Framjee defines and clarifies the reporting of outputs, outcomes and impacts...
The reporting of outputs, outcomes and impacts currently has a great focus in the non profit world and many nonprofit organisations (NPOs) are looking at all of this very closely. In many cases they find that they are not achieving the results they are seeking. In others the results may be being achieved but at an unacceptable cost. Most NPOs are resource constrained and the link between the inputs being used and the outputs being delivered is important. This means the performance has got to be managed (see Kate Sayer's article, Performance Management). The reality is often that, despite acknowledging the desire to better manage performance, NPOs continue to struggle with issues that prevent them from achieving longterm strategic objectives in an effective and efficient way.
