The Nonprofit Outcomes Toolbox: A Complete Guide to Program Effectiveness, Performance Measurement, and Results (Wiley Nonprofit Authority)

Customer Reviews:

Must Have for NP Managers--and others!

By Jed Emerson - May 2, 2011

I have to say, very seldom do I take the time to write something like this, but I do have to say that Bob Penna has done a great job with this book... There are a ton of "evaluation and measurement" books out there, but he's succeeded in putting one together that both communicates a vision about why this stuff matters and presents in a very helpful manner how folks should go about bringing that vision into reality. It has a great layout, mixes narrative with visuals and is just very well done. Really very helpful and I'm sure this will become a mainstay for those teaching these ideas--as well as those putting them into practice. Good job!

Highly Recomended -best I have seen on the subject

It is good to know that the author apparently signals no ideological bias/fidelity to a specific approach, as he presents the strength and applicabilty of the numerous outcome models that are in the vanguard today ranging from the best thinking from the nonprofit and forprofit sectors. For years, I have been frustrated with performance consultants who were in retrospect rigid in their thinking, most often peddling a canned outcome approach. That never worked for me or my organizations. Penna's book breaks through this barrier by suggesting a collective... read more

Penna hits the jackpot

By Kenneth - August 1, 2012

This is not a book to be missed.
Few books cut to the chase as well and as effectively as this text.
The message within is NOT restricted to the Non-Profit context, it is equally relevant (if not more so)for the For-Profit sector.
Delivering outcomes is the lost art of the business world.
This text redraws the road map for business renewal.
