The landmark study
7 Measures of Success: What Remarkable Associations Do That Others Don t was an enormous success when the ASAE and the Center for Association Leadership first published it in 2006. Almost immediately, many association executives who read the book and attended related educational programs expressed a need for tools and resources to implement the 7 Measures framework in their organizations.
7 Measures of Success Implementation Guide and Assessment Tool is the answer to those requests. The guide provides a structured approach, resources, and tools that can be customized to help organizations implement the seven measures in their organizations, including
steps to get started a detailed assessment tool by measure and interpretation guide a step-by-step guide to action planning by measure recommendations for implementing and evaluating results an excel data entry and analysis document an action planning worksheet. The book provides additional tools to support associations in their quest for greatness, such as sample surveys, cover letters, an annotated reading list by measure, and more.
The ASAE and The Center for Association Leadership s Measures of Success Task Force comprises a large group of volunteers and staff, including Michael E. Gallery, Wayne Gross, Joan Knapp, Daniel J. Raftery, Colin C. Rorrie, Samantha Buhr, Karin I. Croft, Ann Kessler, and Jennifer Rossignol. Michael Gallery and Joan Knapp developed the assessment survey, and Daniel Raftery created the implementation framework.
