MEASURES Measures give a concrete link to the strategic goal.
MEASURES ARE: • focused in the strategic goal • quantifiable, repeatable and reliable over time • measures of progress over a specific time period • updated at defined intervals • useful for settingtargets • useful for establishing accountability
FORMS OFMEASURES • absolute numbers • indices • percentages • ratings or rankings • ratios
TWO TYPES OF MEASURES Lead Measures: drivers - measure intermediate processes, activities, and behaviors Lag Measures: outcomes - measure performance results at end of time period or activity
GUIDELINES FOR SELECTINGMEASURES • Usually 1 measure for each objective • Assign a second measure only if the first measure by itself cannot adequately track completion of the objective
RULE OF THUMB: • Use existing measures when possible. • Do not spend valuable time inventing measures.
TARGETS • Set/Communicate the expected performance level. • Focus the organization on improvement. TARGETS ARE USED TO MOTIVATE - NOT TO CONSTRAIN OR CONTROL
TARGETS SHOULD: • Match a measure, one for one • Be quantifiable • Clearly communicate the expected performance
STRETCH TARGETS ARE ASPIRATIONAL • Set long-term (3-5 years) performance goals • Help focus the organization on long-term strategy while working on short-term goals • Can identify areas which may require dramatic change and/or improvement
TARGETS VS. STRETCH TARGETS Targets: What you can achieve WITHOUT an initiative Stretch Targets: What you can achieve WITH an initiative (requires new funding commitment)
Path for Change • Three year time lines • Specific goals and objectives • Direct link between planning and budgeting • Measurable outcomes • Targets reevaluated annually • Continuous evaluation
