  1. Why Data MattersBuilding and Sustaining a Business Case NEAUC Conference June 18, 2014

  2. Presentation • Evaluation versus Performance Measurement • Types of Performance Measures • Inputs • Outputs • Outcomes • Impacts • Data Sources • Process 2

  3. Evaluation versus performance measurement 3

  4. Comparison 4

  5. Evaluation • What are the goals? • How is my program performing compared to goals or expectations? • How does it compare to other programs? • How can the program improve? 5

  6. Performance Measurement • How can I measure? • My organization’s efforts and inputs • Outcomes of those efforts • How we impacted clients • How we impacted utility • How has this changed over time? • How does my organization compare? • What are higher performers doing? • Are those actions related to results? • Can I implement those actions? 6

  7. Types of performance measures 7

  31. Data sources 31

  32. Agency Records • Most accessible • Should be put in a database • May not be needed if good program database • Data • Customers served • Characteristics – income, poverty level, elderly, children • Services provided 32

  33. Public Use Data • Available for free download • Characterize eligible population in service territory • Programming skills needed • Data • Number eligible • Geography • Characteristics – income, poverty level, elderly, children, language • Energy costs 33

  34. Customer Survey • Real time feedback • Requires staff time • Document methodology • Data • Customer characteristics • Satisfaction • Self-reported impacts 34

  35. Program Database • Program manager – state or utility • Canned reports • Queries • Data • Customers served • Characteristics – income, poverty level, elderly, children • Services provided 35

  36. Utility Data • Difficult to obtain • Easier for utility managed program • Requires software and programming skills • Data • Customer type – heating, water heating, baseload • Energy usage • Energy bills • Customer payments • Energy assistance 36

  37. process 37

  38. Process • Start with available data • Identify performance measures • Determine additional data sources • Collect additional data • Develop additional performance measures 38

  39. summary 39

  40. Summary • Performance measurement overlaps with evaluation • Start with program goals • Work with available data • Identify ways to enhance data • Measure performance over time • Identify areas for improvement • Impact measures require more data and analysis 40
