Information on the outcomes is important, because it can be useful for the organization in order to make its work more effective, by pointing out successes and failures. Paying attention to the outcomes also demonstrates that the organization can learn from its experience and improve its performance. Moreover, the staff can be motivated when they see evidence of the outcomes their work has. [1] See also: Output |
