Performance measurement is essential for organizational innovation, learning, and success. Nonprofits, however, must evaluate social or environmental outcomes as well as financial performance, and the ideal metrics are not always easy to identify. Indeed, to improve the effectiveness of a nonprofit organization—especially when tackling society's toughest challenges—senior executives and board members must prioritize assessment of organizational performance. In this nonprofit management program, you will explore how to align mission and strategy through performance measurement.
This program is presented jointly by the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative and The Hauser Institute for Civil Society at Harvard University.
