Array of cartoons By Robin Hutton

When planning to discuss and decide on outcome measures keep in mind the characters in these cartoons.  Creating outcome measures can be fun and fulfilling if done right.

1. Outcome measures do not have to difficult or complex.
2. Nonprofits and management use outcomes measures only if it will result in action.
3. Nonprofits too often decide not to make waves and ignore results.  Outcome measures are not usually about making friends with the individual responsible.
4. Nonprofits organizations should recognize accomplishments by individuals or groups.
5. Nonprofits while not God or might be doing God’s work should not limit themselves to easy achievements.
