Success Stories as Hard Data

This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to results mapping, an innovative, story-based approach for assessing the worth of social, health, and educational programmes. Unlike most forms of evaluation that are number driven, results mapping is story-based. Programme staff are challenged to relate their most successful work with clients in structured formats that, in turn, are translated into outcome scores and related program measures. A tool for professionals, researchers and students who need to demonstrate outcomes for complex and difficult to evaluate programmes.
