Good Stories Aren't Enough: Becoming Outcomes-Driven in Workforce Development
Miles, Martha A.
Public/Private Ventures
Workforce development organizations are more and more focused on achieving and documenting performance outcomes; yet managers frequently face a challenge getting buy-in from frontline staff about collecting and using data--not only to satisfy funders' needs but to improve services. "Good Stories Aren't Enough" looks at the experience and learnings of six organizations as they focused on becoming more outcomes-driven. It identifies practical, hands-on strategies to increase staff involvement and communication around data, so that what at first seems like impersonal information becomes a useful tool to better meet job seekers' and employers' needs. (Two appendices are included: (1) Contact Information for profiled Organizations; and (2) How the Six Programs Invested in becoming Outcome-Driven. Contains 1 endnote and 5 figures.)
