The Results Leadership Group has announced the Promise Scorecard ™ - a web-based software application designed for Promise Neighborhoods. Promise Scorecard ™ will help Promise Neighborhood Program applicants to:

• Organize decision making to work backwards from ends to means - begin with desired outcomes for children and youth and work backwards with data to determine the best means to achieve those ends.
• Succinctly capture and report the entire decision-making process including underlying analysis and data.
• Facilitate collaboration and engagement of stakeholders in the decision making process efficiently, systematically, and transparently.
• Automatically import and filter data from outside databases (ie case management systems, school databases, individual program databases, etc.) on a regular basis.
• Plot the trend lines of children and youth outcomes measures across a community as well as "customer outcomes" for individual programs, agencies, and service systems.
• Facilitate and report for a Promise Neighborhood both (1) the initial planning process and (2) continuous, rapid-time monitoring, learning, and improvement.
• Allows stakeholder to maintain a broad, strategic perspective or, when needed, to "drill down" to as much detail as is desired.
• Facilitate and report systems thinking - seeing the whole as well as the parts, thinking long-term as well as short-term and, thereby, building integrated continuums of solutions.
