(ELEVATING MEANINGFUL & MEASURABLE OUTCOMES)

In this presentation, we will work together to ensure that your organizations have the tools they need to be able to craft a set of outcomes that are both meaningful and measurable. Identifying a strong set of outcomes is vital to know where you want to be going as an agency, where you currently are, and what it might take to get there. This hands-on session will equip you with the right questions to ask of your team to arrive at a valuable and viable set of outcomes that will become a compass for your work.​
