Social Solutions Investigates How Ineffective Organizations May Cause More Harm than Good

Led by internationally renowned performance management expert and former foundation executive David Hunter, the webinar will examine the urgent need for human service organizations to implement the practice of performance management. A long-standing controversy in the nonprofit sector, performance management pushes organizations beyond idealistic mission statements and anecdotal evidence of success to concrete demonstrations, backed by data, of organizational effectiveness. Performance management allows organizations to see which programs are working, which ones are not and provides the data to make adjustments, allowing the organization to more effectively impact the community as well as make a more definitive case for funding.

“Managing performance – measuring efforts and relating them to outcomes - is essential for an organization to have maximum impact on the community it serves,” said Steve Butz, President of Social Solutions. ”An organization that fails to take this step will never measure up to its potential and may ultimately be doing more harm than good. David’s webinar will help nonprofits understand that even in a tough economy, an investment – both of time and resources - in performance management tools will help to ensure that an organization is fulfilling its mission.”
