We are excited to announce the creation of the Results Scorecard, web-based software for Results Based Accountability (RBA). Please join us as we launch the Results Scorecard with a Webinar demonstration on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 12pm EST.
With the Results Scorecard, leaders in the public and nonprofit sectors will accelerate the improvement of the quality of life in their communities and the performance of their agencies and programs. Importantly, the Results Scorecard aligns indicators of community well-being with organizational performance measures. A web-based tool, the Results Scorecard is easy to use and implement — and affordable.
The Results Scorecard is the only decision software designed specifically to support the RBA methodology, described by Mark Friedman in Trying Hard is Not Good Enough (Trafford 2005). The Results Scorecard’s architecture, with built-in tools and templates, is particularly useful for efficient and collaborative decision making on an ongoing basis at both the community and program levels.
Feel free to contact us at 301-907-7541 with any questions or to schedule a private demo if you can’t make the Webinar on April 14, 2009.
–The Results Leadership Group
Using Mark Friedman’s Outcome-based Accountability approach, the United Kingdom’s Department of Children, Schools, and Families has developed a new approach to planning and taking action to improve the quality of life and outcomes for all children (and other populations) and to improve the performance of specific services, agencies, and service systems. It provides a pathway for multi-agency partnerships and individual organizations to prioritize the outcomes they want to improve and determine what strategies are needed to achieve them.
The department recently published a Better Outcomes for Children and Young People resource, containing two new publications. From Talk to Action describes the outcomes-based accountability approach to planning and taking action to improve outcomes for all children, and Turning the Curve Stories offers a range of examples of councils using an outcome-focused approach to plan and implement services, and improve outcomes.
This section was created for users of Results Accountability to pose questions that you think others will benefit from knowing the answer. In most cases, I will direct you to my book or DVD, or one of my webpages - www.resultsaccountability.com or www.raguide.org. I also encourage others to chime in, as it will only improve the dialogue in achieving measurable results for clients and communities.
