Outcome Measurement: What’s It All About? How Do We Get Started?

Learn how to assess the impact of your organization’s program. Outcomes are the benefits or changes in the lives of people you serve that occur as a result of the work you do.

In this series of five workshops, participants will:

• learn how to identify their program outcomes
• define indicators of those outcomes
• design tools for gathering information about the outcome indicators
• plan the process and procedures for collecting and analyzing data
• understand how to report and use their outcome measurement results

After each workshop, all participating organizations will have the opportunity for one-on-one consultation with the series facilitator. The content of each workshop builds on the preceding; with one-on-one coaching prior to the subsequent workshops each organization will be able to measure their program outcomes by the end of the series.

Workshop facilitator Denise Caudill, DrPH, is an independent consultant doing business as The Outcome Zone™ consulting group. Dr. Caudill is a skilled trainer, facilitator and coach in strategic planning, program planning, monitoring and evaluation, including extensive expertise in outcome measurement. She offers your team nearly 40 years of hands-on experience helping improve performance and outcomes of hundreds of nonprofit organizations in the United States, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 

The Outcome Measurement: What’s It All About? How Do We Get Started? workshop series is a process Denise has used successfully with the member agencies of United Ways of Ponca City, Stephens County, Pottawatomie County, Lawton-Fort Sill, and Norman, Oklahoma.
