A Powerful Tool for Change Agents Feb 01, 2006
By J. Lovegrove
Finally, a book that pushes readers into full-fledge imagining of what is possible in their communities, while mentoring change agents in real language to make a real difference. Every chapter provides a compelling case for how results-based planning and action (inside and among organizations) CAN "turn the curve" on measures of well-being for kids and families who cannot bear even one more year of less than our best efforts. Hands-on learning tools and exercises are an added bonus for moving "why we can't" to "how we can."

Laugh and learn Jul 26, 2006
By Sara Watson
Finally a book on this topic that is powerful, direct, clear...and funny. Friedman has vast experience in the US and overseas in getting governments to use outcomes and it shows in this book. The advice is extremely well thought-out, effective, and fun to read. This book works if you are just learning about the topic or about to launch a major overhaul. Highly recommended.

Plain language common sense approach to large scale change Feb 20, 2006
By J. Ott
For anyone committed to large scale change, either in the public or private sectors, this book is a must read. The straight-forward language and practical examples ease the reader into a provocative discussion of what's wrong with many complex initiatives, and better yet, provide a clear road map for how to get better. Highly recommended.
Trying Hard is not good enough Nov 30, 2011
By nkii
In New Zealand as social service providers, we are changing the accountable system to Result Base Accountability and this book gives all the details that is required to change to this system.
It is easy to read and understand with humour throughout the book for people like me that can get bored so quickly when it is too complicated to read.
a must read for nonprofit execs Aug 06, 2009
By Caryl Jayne Hallberg
This is the business process for the current decade and should be used by all nonprofits seeking or recieving government funding. It also happens to be a very sensible, positive system. It always helps to go to the source and this book is authored by the primary person responcible for creating the RBA system. A easy but not dumbed-down read, this book gives you what you need to understand and implement RBA in your organzation.
