OVERVIEW

The ability of a nonprofit organization to deliver on its mission cannot be gauged through business metrics like quarterly earnings or profit margins. Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations is designed to show nonprofit leaders how to use performance measurement to enhance the effectiveness of their organizations. The program covers a range of approaches that address the performance issues facing executives in the nonprofit world.

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 the Kennedy School of Government, Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations is a program developed by The Social Enterprise Initiative at Harvard Business School and The Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations.
