Budget better
Traditional budgeting processes can include line-item budgeting, program budgeting, and even building a budget from the ground up. Many communities across the U.S. will take last year’s budget, roll the numbers forward, and call it good. Budgeting for outcomes turns that process on its head ... starting with the end in mind.
