What is it?

Outcomes can be real-world decisions an organization wants to influence (legislation, rules, buying decisions, etc.) and sometimes they are less concrete (increasing capacity, changing positioning, etc.) The Outcomes Tracking module helps an organization connect those Outcomes to the work being recorded in the database.

What does it do?

• Allows the recording of key Outcomes of different types
• Litigation
• Legislation
• Strategic Outcomes
• Rules Changes
• etc.
• Decision makers and key influencers can all be tracked
• Key dates related to the Outcome can be recorded (i.e. hearing dates, meetings, follow up steps, etc.)
• Outcomes can be connected to Jurisdictions for a place-based picture of the work
• Campaigns meant to influence an Outcome can be related to it
• Outcomes can be evaluated after they are completed

How does it help?

All groups have Outcomes they are trying to influence, but few track them in systematic ways. Having Outcomes in the database allows for effective Outcome communication withing the organization. Activities, like a letter writing Campaign, can be tied to a specific Outcome. Key relationships paint a picture of how a group is weilding it's power on a specific Outcome, creating a robust picture of the work getting done toward service of the mission.
