Strategic Indicators: Economy & Safety are the drivers www.cityofvancouver.us/strategicindicators
Community Strategic Indicators -Trends • Community is more active in many ways • Residents generally satisfied with service levels although some core services are degrading • External financial conditions: still negative • City is managing the financial situation well • Quality of life: noticeable erosion by early 2010 • Perception of safety is good, but crime is up • Traffic safety was a high point
Community Strategic Indicators -Future • Reduce time and effort to populate data • Reset some goals where appropriate • Communicate more, improve context • Survey focus: Should it be how well we meet expectations or satisfaction? • Adjust indicators with public input…
An Emerging Issue: The Community vs Management View of Information • Community (Informational) Outcomes & Indicators • Used to inform the public, inform strategic directions • Tend to focus on annual (or longer) trends • Often include a more complete view of the processes • Organizational (Management) Outcomes & Indicators • Used to inform decisions, manage the organization • Annually, quarterly, monthly • Focus on our part of the process • Time intensive
Issue Example: EMS Response Indicator: Emergency Medical Response time • Organization view: Department response time • Time from departmentnotification to arrival of theirfirst unit (only our specific unit responses) • Community view: Total community response time • Time from initial call to 911 center to arrival of any help on scene
Business Plans: Near term hold on new work • Positives about business plans • Departments understand their businesses better • Quantify deliverables, outcomes desired, key processes • Plan for the future based on the expected environment • Nearly all direct services have completed one, many others • Negatives: • Very time intensive • Depend on a relatively stable future to be effective, and that is not the case now • Resources not available to work Business Plans and evolve to BI over next two years; One needs to be “on hold”
Annual Performance Reporting “Snapshots” • 2011 Presentations: • May 16 – Public Works (Today) • June 13 – Police • July 11 –Law & Fire • Future of Performance Reporting: • OracleBusiness Intelligence: a leap • Dramatically reduce effort for basic data • Timely, data-informed analysis & decisions
