What is a paradigm shift and why do we need it?
A paradigm is an accepted pattern of behavior orframework for how we act.
There are disruptive changes or forces at workthat are making it necessary for those of us in non-
profit work to do things differently to make apositive impact
Thus the need for a paradigm shift

A Picture of Response to Disruptive Forces*
Multi-service organization ofthe past
Multi-service organization ofthe future
Service-centric Client-centric
Holds itself accountable for short-term, service-specific outcomes
Holds itself accountable for long-term, holistic outcomes
Clients receive the single service
that they were referred to
Clients receive multiple services (if
needed), based on a plan that theycreate with staff
Discharges clients after completingone service
Maintains an extended relationshipwith clients to ensure they achieveand maintain long-term outcomes
Program staff are siloed Roles and processes in place todeliver multiple coordinated services
Reports data for compliance withfunders
Uses data to continually improveservice delivery

Culture of blame and excuses Culture of shared accountability

*A New Paradigm for Catholic Charities CYO
Move from a program centric bias where:
Solving a problem requires a program solution
Funding drives program
Programs drive mission
Program funders dictate mission
Programs evolve into perpetual silos
until funders change the rules
Move toward a mission centric bias where:
We provide services not programs
What we do is driven by the outcomes we seek
The evolving needs of the client determine the services weprovide over time
Client needs and efficient use of agency resources requiresexternal collaboration, internal integration and/or hand-offto a third party
Meeting the mission does not require that we perform theservice
Resources gravitate to meet the required outcomes.

To improve the quality of our services
To focus our limited resources on those activitiesthat actually advance our mission and achieveour desired outcomes
To respond to donors/funders seeking to supportmeasurable impacts
To inform our advocacy

Benefit to Stakeholders Quotes
Staff are clear about the strategic priorities of theorganization and how their program fits into theoverall missiono Create a tunnel window to channel staffs
creativity and effort on initiatives driving towardsthe mission
Our people are so focused on wh at i t is
that were trying to accomplish from a social
impact perspectiveits about getting to the
goals
- CEO, Teach for America
This becomes a strategic decis ion making
tool, to identify priorities, what to do and what
notto do
- President Emeritus, Great Valley Center
Moving towards real impact means giv ing a
hand up and not just a hand out
- Board Member, Philanthropedia
Government might be satisfied with metric,
for now, butfoundat ions typical ly look for
demonstrat ion of impactbefore funding
- Consultant to Non-profits
Board and management team are aligned andhave clarity in the goals they want to holdthemselves accountable for and how they can goabout to achieve those goals
Beneficiaries receive prevention, intervention andstabilization measures that are tightly linked
towards a sustainable result over the long termo Not just getting temporary piece meal
assistance
Funders need better quality information to decidewhich effective organizations to fundo Foundations (e.g., David and Lucile Packard
Foundation) and sophisticated individual donorstypically want to see impact achieved

Leap of Reason a Basic Premise
Most nonprofits dont know whether or not they are delivering on theirpromises
Managing to outcomes is o Using information to support decision makingo About culture and people not numberso Primarily about helping nonprofits improveo A key to maximizing collective impacto All too rare
We must focus on why and what to measure not just how to measure The nonprofit must be the driver (and the beneficiary) of the outcomes-
assessment process Reasonableness and common sense must guide the outcomes-
assessment processo Hear the constituent voiceo
Assess to learn and doo Apply rigor with reasono Be practicalo Create a learning culture

Theory of Change
I th ink you sh ould

here in Step Two.
A common problem is that
activities and strategies oftendo not lead to the desiredoutcomes.
Check your if-then statementsand ensure that they make
sense and lead to the outcomesyou want to achieve.
A logic model makes theconnections EXPLICIT.

Some Definitions
Theory of Change how we effect changeo The empirical basis for believing we can make a differenceo Why we expect we can achieve success
Logic Model what we do and howo The related and interconnected elements of a program, organization or activity that
rationally links objectives, activities and outcomes/impacts
Inputs what resources are committedo Money, time, staff, facilities, methodologies, etc.
Outputs what we measureo Volume of a programs activities, e.g. numbers of clients served, units of service, etc.
Outcomes what we wish to achieveo Meaningful changes that result from the actions that we takeo Changes in knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, condition, or status
Indicators what we use to stay on courseo Specific, observable and measurable demonstration of whether the desired change occurred
Impact what we aim to effecto The long term benefit of our activities beyond the individual services recipient

In the Theory of Change, identifying intended impact andthe belief of why it will happen help crystalize the strategy
Description: Intended Impact
What does success look like?
Description: Theory of Change
Why do we expect we can achieve success?
Explains the underlying beliefs of how theorganizations intended impact will actually happenIdentify the cause-and-effect logic by whichorganizational and financial resources will beconverted into the desired social results
Considers beyond taking account of its ownresources, but also partnership and involvement of
others where necessary Ensures that all stakeholders understand why
strategic decisions are made as they are
Helps to unearth assumptions about programs andservices that can be tested and revised as necessary
Is broad enough to reflect the organizations mission
but focused enough to be actionable
Explains what the organization is trying to achieveand will hold itself accountable for within somemanageable period of time
Identifies both the benefits the organization seeks toprovide and the beneficiaries of those activities
Draws on the following to define the who, what,where, and how
o Organizational values
Target population (e.g., homeless youth, 12-24)
Target outcomes (e.g., self sufficiency)
Geography (e.g., San Francisco)
Approach (e.g., continuum of care)
o Data
Needs of beneficiaries Availability of services by other organizations
o Making tough choices and tradeoffs
Reallocation of resources for greatest impact
Clear on what to do and what not to do

Identifies the most important needs of yourchosen beneficiaries
Articulates the most important leverage
points to meet those needs
Links your solutions to your beneficiaries
needs through a chain of cause-and-effectrelationships
Is empirically plausible if not proven
Links in a compelling way to your missionand vision for social change
Specifies the outcomes you seek to createfor your beneficiaries
Affords sufficient control over outcomes toenable real accountability
Is realistic and achievable, given yourcapabilities
Is measurable on an accurate, timely basis
Provides an effective platform for makingstrategic tradeoffs, especially those relatedto program focus and resource allocationdecisions Note: Theories of change have been largely used as a tool for evaluation. It is difficult to pinpoint the earliest use of the term "Theory of
Change," but a hint at its origins can be found in the evaluation community among the work of notable methodologists, such as HueyChen, Peter Rossi, Michael Quinn Patton, and Carol WeisSource: ActKnowledge, Theory of Change Community; Zeroing in on Impact, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Sept 2004; Booz &Company analysis

Problem Statement:
o Children living in the Canal District of San Rafael, CA, on average
perform at significantly below grade level in reading and writing asmeasured by test scores. This learning gap is caused in part byliving in households where at least one member speaks English as aSecond Language, one or more parents has no more than a highschool education and parents are unaware of and/or unable toaccess school and community resources to benefit the child and
family. As a result of this gap, these children are less likely to makesatisfactory academic progress, more likely to drop out of highschool, and less likely to achieve higher education, leading to ahigher probability of generational poverty.
Program Outcomes and Impacts:
o Our outcomes are to increase satisfactory academic progress;increase access to resources; increase high school graduation; andincrease achievement of higher education leading to our impacts ofa reduction of educational achievement gap in Marin and anempowered and self-sufficient community.

Going through the logic model checklist will helpensure that the causal relationship between theactivities and outcomes is robust
Have you included all the major activities needed to implement yourproject and achieve expected outcomes and impact?
Does your organization have adequate resources to implement theactivities and achieve the desired outcomes and impact?
Have you expressed your outcomes and impact in terms of change?Have you identified who/what will experience that change, and overwhat time period?
Do activities, outputs, outcomes and impact relate to each otherlogically (the if-then relationship)?
Does your logic model clearly identify the scope of your projectsinfluence?
Have you identified the objectives and underlying assumptionsabout why your project exists?
Have you considered external forces that may influence yourprojects success?

Measuring outputs is different from measuringoutcomes
May require narrowing the focus of services andindividual staff performance expectations
Important to socialize the concept and the language
