Result vs Output vs Outcome

Result :

Something that happens or exists because of something else:

-The road has been widened, but the result is just more traffic.

-His broken leg is the direct result of his own carelessness.

-I tried to repaint the kitchen walls with disastrous results.

-To ensure good/the best results, use Italian tomatoes and fresh basil.

Output :

an amount of something produced by a person, machine, factory, country, etc.:

-Last year manufacturing output fell by 14 percent.

Outputs tell the story of what you produced or your organization's activities. Output measures do not address the value or impact of your services for your clients.

Outcome :

a result or effect of an action, situation, etc.:

- It's too early to predict the outcome of the meeting.

an outcome is the level of performance or achievement that occurred because of the activity or services your organization provided.

Outcomes are the measurement and evaluation of an activity’s results against their intended or projected results. Outcomes are what you hope to achieve when you accomplish the goal. Again, using the above examples, the organization’s outcome might be to “increase profit by 50 percent over last quarter”. That’s what the company is trying to do. For an individual, the outcome could be “get a new job” or “get a pay increase” as a result of earning a certification.
