To Sum Up• Before measuring the impact of your service you need to
define your purpose, aims and objectives clearly. • These need to be clearly linked to your institution’s purpose,
strategy and positioning.• Heads of Service need to describe what we do simply and
clearly in the language of our key stakeholders who should be institutional managers and funding bodies.
• Asserting that what we do is intangible, cumulative and too long term to measure is fine but only if we can prove that such an assertion is true!
“A hundred objective measurements didn’t sum the worth of a garden; only the delight of its users did that. Only the use of it did that” Lois McMasters Bujold A Civil Campaign 1999

“ The birthplace of success for each person is in his Inner-Consciousness. The Inner Consciousness will use whatever it is given. If constructive thoughts are planted positive outcomes will result. Plant the seeds of failure and failure will follow. And since the only real freedom a person has is the choice of what thoughts he will feed to his Inner-Consciousness he is totally responsible for the outcomes he gets. ” Sidney Madwed
