The Collaborative Outcomes Reporting (COR) technique is a practical tool for telling the story of how your program has contributed to outcomes. A type of ‘performance story report’, COR is short and includes both qualitative and quantitative data in a five part structure. The ‘results’ chart forms a key part of this report and is essentially a program logic model that is populated with multiple lines of evidence to tell the story of how investment has contributed to long term goals. Clear Horizon advocates a participatory process for developing a COR that includes data trawling, semi-structured interviews, science panels and culminates in a ‘summit workshop’. This technique has been adopted by various organisations from NRM, overseas development, heath and education and is fast being seen as one of the most effective ways of meaningfully reporting on outcomes.

The Collaborative Outcomes Reporting technique yields one specific type of ‘performance story report’ and follows a particular participatory process. This technique was developed by Jess Dart and was previously called ‘participatory performance story reporting” technique.
