Some Issues with Measuring Outcomes
• Defining Which Outcomes Matter?
• Quantity
• Quality
• Time
• Attribution
• Non-linear
• Unexpected outcomes
• Cost
Sometimes Outcomes are:
• Too intangible or hard to define precisely
• Too long-term
• Too costly
• Too ‘hard’ measure in any way that would be useful for political, policy or managerial use
• So don’t (there are other ways).
