    Abstract: This paper reviews the underlying theoretical bases for the evaluation of organizational performance. It then examines representative samples of empirical research into actual evaluation practices in a variety of nonprofits in Canada, the U.S. and Britain. Some of the most popular tools and systems for evaluation currently recommended by consultants and others are then reviewed. Looking at this prescriptive literature, it is shown that, by and large, it takes little account of the findings of empirical research and, as a result, its approaches may often prove ineffective. An alternative…

    “A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.” In the preceding quote, blaming others will only expose our failures and weaknesses. Jesus pointed that out to us when he quipped the scripture in Matthew 7:5, regarding the log in our own eye. Steinke writes, “When anyone’s “absorption capacity” is exceeded, the person displays symptoms from irritation to blame, from reduced trust to a victim mentality, from psychic numbing to a search for messiahs. There are simply limits to the ability to absorb all the change that is happening.”…

    When dealing with a segment whose products are not tangible, how can one define the effectiveness of that kind of work? At the same time, the expectations being placed on these organizations to show results by their staff members, their boards, and public and private donors are rising. Nonprofit leaders are put in a difficult position where they need to demonstrate accountability and quantify the goals they want to achieve. For that reason, most of them have resorted to a set of commonly used performance measures to ensure they are being much more explicit about the results they intend to deliver and the strategies they’ll apply to achieve them. This paper will discuss some of the performance measures used in the non-profit…

    The adoption and implementation of a balanced scorecard idea for nonprofit organizations is not as easy as it may seem. One author suggests “the basic concepts behind creating a balanced scorecard are as suitable for nonprofits as they are for corporate businesses, but the execution needs to be modified in order to make it work effectively (Zimmerman, 2004).” Traditional for- profit balanced scorecards provide a balanced view of organizational performance, however, the non-profit balanced scorecards need to reflect success for the organization.…

    Balance Scorecard Overview

    • 6 Pages

    Douglas Scherer June 17, 2002 Introduction Without metrics, management can be a nebulous if not impossible exercise. How can we tell if we have met our goals if we don 't know what our goals are? How do we know if our business strategies are effective if they have not been well defined? The balanced scorecard as documented by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton in the Harvard Business Review article The Balanced Scorecard - Measures that Drive Performance1 describes a methodology used for measuring success and setting goals from financial and operational viewpoints. With those measures, leaders can manage their strategic vision and adjust it for change. This paper will provide a brief overview of the balanced scorecard. Balanced Scorecard Mechanics The balanced scorecard (which saw its initial development during the years of 1987 - 19922) links performance measures by looking at a business 's strategic vision from four different perspectives: financial, customer, innovation and learning, and internal business processes. These four perspectives do not eliminate, but instead support the goals of various management techniques (such as Strategic Planning, Total Quality Management, and Core Competence) employed during the several decades surroundings the balanced scorecard 's appearance. Each of the four perspectives is considered by four parameters. Those parameters are: • Goals: What do we need to achieve to become successful • Measures: What parameters will we use to know if we are successful • Targets: What quantitative value will we use to determine success of the measure • Initiatives: What will we do to meet our goals In the original paper of 1992, Goals and Measures are the only two parameters shown on the scorecard. Since then, it is often seen with the additional two parameters, Targets and Initiatives.…

    A German industrialist Dr. Wilhelm von Siemens proposed the concept of VAT in 1918.
