While a vision articulates a picture of the future that the group seeks to create, the outcomes address specific conditions to be achieved. Outcomes are essential to the formation of a shared vision, though, often they are not thought about until after the shared vision has been created. This leads to inconsistences between vision and actual desired outcomes. The following list are actual examples of specific outcomes defined by community collaborations. Following the example outcomes, indicators are listed.
