OVERVIEW
To improve the effectiveness of a nonprofit organization, especially during difficult economic times, senior executives and board members must first determine current performance. Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations (PMNO)—a joint program presented by the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative and Harvard University's Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations—explores the impact of measurement on resource allocation, organizational learning, internal processes, and internal and external accountability.
Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations helps nonprofit leaders enhance their capacity to:
• Use performance management for strategic purposes.
• Assess and respond to external demands for accountability.
• Align mission, strategy, and internal performance.
• Implement exemplary tools and approaches to measure performance.
• Institutionalize and sustain performance measurement systems.
Hosted by Executive Education programs at Harvard Business School, Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations is a program developed by The Social Enterprise Initiative at Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education, and The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations.
