Among the most dramatic impacts of POP is that it works. POP successes are robust and are demonstrated in studies and publications over two decades.

One example of these success stories is the hundreds of POP projects submitted to the Herman Goldstein Problem-Solving Award program each year at the International POP Conference (www.popcenter.org).
