The Annie E. Casey Foundation has developed a comprehensive portfolio of programs to give leaders —from public, nonprofit, private, and community-based organizations—the skills and tools they need to move from “talk” to 
“action” to improve outcomes for children and families. These results-based leadership programs enable participants to work on real issues in real time, build successful collaborative relationships, and hone their ability to use data to develop action plans and measure progress. The ultimate impact of this work is t o sustain efforts to improve outcomes not just for current budget cycles, but for years to come. This case study provides an example of how one such program within the Baltimore City Department of Social Services helped leaders in that system work more collaboratively and produce measurable results to improve the lives of children in their community.
