How to measure outcomes: "Think Tanks and NGOs produce different products and services, I usually mention four: research, education, advocacy, and “doing.” I use “doing” as the category of products and services that come from “Do Tanks.” This is more common in non-ideological non-profits: providing small-loans, installing water purification systems, and other similar endeavors. But several programs of think tanks, such as defending victims of unjust government regulations, or helping edit/draft a law or major document, also qualifies as doing. Measuring outcomes is easier in this area." For more . . .check my Forbes piece | The Leading Canadian Think Tanks
