Corner Office: A Pathway to Efficiency and Impact

Measuring that matters helps nonprofits define and communicate the difference they are making. Search for ways to maximize alignment and strategic uses for your metric tracking systems. Use data, stories and testimonials to educate funders, government agencies and the public on the impact of your work. When your organization and staff are driven by a commitment to demonstrate ROI and regard data collection as a means for continuous quality improvement, efficiency naturally grows.

Now more than ever, there is an urgency for efficiency and impact in the nonprofit world. You must use all of the tools at your disposal to achieve organizational excellence and create lasting change.
