Measuring Impact
Whether you're a producer, a community leader or an outreach manager, being able to address impact is increasingly important. It allows all of us the ability to evaluate what we've done and speak to what changed as a result.
About PlanIT!
PlanIT! Is an on-line planning and assessment tool developed by NCO. It has two primary sections. The Planning section will help you identify goals, audience and outcomes, and the Assessment section to help you measure the impact of your activities based on the goals identified in the planning phase.
