For us, the Clear Impact Scorecard helps to keep how we’re moving at the front of the conversation. So we can use that tool to pull it up at the front of a meeting and begin talking about what is the progress that we’ve made toward these results so far and where are areas of improvement. The Scorecard itself, particularly in being able to tell the story behind the curve, has been critical.

Clear Impact is very invested in the outcome of what we’re trying to accomplish, in us being successful. And the software is geared for the not-for-profit sector. Not all software is. It is quite intuitive. It is almost too simple to be true.

Results-Based Accountability has been a powerful tool for improving outcomes for the children and families served by Connecticut’s Department of Children and Families. As the agency’s Director of Performance Management, I use RBA on a daily basis. It not only serves as a framework for developing agency strategies, but it also helps my work with colleagues as they develop regional and division-wide strategies and performance measures. RBA is the difference between driving change and spinning our wheels.

I am thrilled to be one of the first people to be awarded the RBA Professional Certification! This Results-Based Accountability course has sharpened my analytical acumen and enriched my decision-making toolkit. As a Social Development practitioner and researcher with a leading education-centric social investor, Higherlife Foundation, I believe additional knowledge on Turn-the-Curve thinking and data-driven decision making will definitely improve the quality of our programming as well as our ability to track our social return on investment. My RBA certification journey was very fruitful! Once again, thank you Clear Impact for this splendid course. To our Executive Co-Chair Mrs. Masiyiwa and Higherlife Foundation I say Asante sana, thank you!

Clear Impact Scorecard is a wonderful way to create organizational alignment and promote accountability to our partners and ourselves.

This course was really well laid out and entertaining. Now I have a better idea of what I want my Scorecards to look like, which will allow me to talk to my team more clearly about what our next steps need to be. I loved that there was Results-Based Accountability discussion filtered throughout the course, which made it easier for me to connect the dots.

One of the biggest challenges we face in Australia is capacity building across an enormous and diverse NGO sector. The RBA Professional Certification provides an accessible online learning opportunity that promotes local fidelity of the Results-Based Accountability framework. Certification is relevant for anyone wanting to measure the impact of their work to achieve better outcomes for vulnerable children, young people, families, and communities.

One of the reasons why we decided to partner with Clear Impact is because they really understand the non-profit sector and design solutions that can help drive people to make an impact on their communities.

From the standpoint of public health as a field, the focus is always on the population. It has, therefore, not been a great leap for us to incorporate a new tool which helps us track data and make decisions with regard to all of our major strategic initiatives and across all sectors. The Scorecard is an integral part of our ability to display and share across our network and assists programs to gauge their own progress towards achieving our population goals. The Scorecard also aligns well within the RBA framework we utilize to prompt data-driven decision-making. We encourage all of our program managers and leaders to use the Scorecard to help them make decisions – using the data and the narrative to tell their story – and, as a web-based solution, the Scorecard provides an opportunity to communicate consistently with partners – in and out of the state government.

We use Clear Impact Scorecard a lot. First and foremost is a desire to be transparent. I want folks and our board want folks to see that we really do have a desire to make a difference for children and families, and we want to be able to show that it’s really working.

Through the use of RBA and Scorecard, we were able to change the network, increase scientific productivity, increase enrollment, and improve data quality.
