The Brinkerhoff Success Case Method: A Guide for Evaluators and Stakeholders

The Brinkerhoff Success Case Method is a way to evaluate a program’s effectiveness by focusing on real examples of success. Instead of only counting how many people benefited or testing specific outcomes, it identifies individuals who achieved significant results. By studying these success stories, evaluators understand how and why the program worked, providing insights that can help improve future efforts. This approach highlights meaningful impacts for stakeholders and ensures that the program’s most valuable outcomes are recognized and learned from.
