To help human services leaders make progress on their capacity-building journey, Leadership for a Networked World reviewed best practices and worked with practitioners as part of the Human Services Summit at Harvard University to develop a framework referred to as the “Human Services Value Curve.” As an organization advances along the curve, the enabling business models support new horizons of outcomes.

The Human Services Value Curve is not a one-size fits all solution, but rather a framework to help leaders envision and create a path for their organization. In addition, the levels of the Human Services Value Curve are fluid, meaning that you may see your organization at various levels depending on the program.
