  1. Network Indicatorsand Success Stories John Butson OPET-CU

  2. Network Indicators • The purpose of NIs • Where we are today • Problems encountered • Updating NIs • Enhancing Performance

  3. The Purpose of NIs • Manage resources effectively • Monitor progress against targets • Focus on Performance • Demonstrate impact on market • Refine programme & approach

  4. Where we are Today • Defined NIs Oct 98 • Implemented for Reports Nov 98/Jan 99 • Review & update July 99 • Confirm & clarify Sep 99 • Definitive values Nov 99/Jan 00

  5. Characteristics of NIs • Standardised set of indicators • Cover Input, Output & Performance • Applied/reported at Activity level • Chosen to facilitate monitoring • Integral part of OPET/FEMOPET work

  6. Characteristics of NIs • Clearly defined to avoid ambiguity • Unique to avoid ‘double-counting’ • Can apply to several Tasks/Activities • Can relate to whole Work Programme • Can relate to management/operation

  7. Problems : Input NIs A1 Expenditure From Part B Forms A2 Time OPET staff only B1 STE Resources CU will provide B2 OPET Collaborators What to count B3 Non-OPET Partners What to count

  8. Problems : Output NIs C1-3 Request received : Not key NIs D1 OPET Events : Identify in Reports and specify that OPET was organiser * D2 Other Events : identify in Reports and identify organiser (not OPET) * * Critical NI : information MUST be provided

  9. Problems : Output NIs E1 Documents prepared/translated : Not agendas, programmes, flyers etc (not OPET Interim Reports !) * E2 Documents disseminated : not invitations, questionnaires etc E3 Articles, press releases : not to be included in E1 *

  10. Problems : Output NIs F1 Total records held on contacts database: mainly target markets F2 Dateabase records accessed/used F3 Meetings held/attended : avoid double-counting (events, organisations reached) F4 Organisations reached : substantive contacts only (e.g. not just invitations)

  11. Problems : Output NIs G1 Studies/strategies/plans prepared : may be prepared by OPET or by client with OPET advice/assistance, generally strategic covering several opportunities (projects/sites) * G2 Energy audits/feasibility studies carried out : by OPET or client, generally project or site specific *

  12. Problems : Performance NIs GENERALLY NOT WELL USED/REPORTED H1-2 Technology matches identified : include (successful) partner searches here * H3-4 Proposals advised on/submitted : 3rd party proposals for EC programmes only *

  13. Problems : Performance NIs H5 Investment opportunities : individual RUE, RES or FF projects (sites) * H6 Potential investment : capital cost of identified projects H7 Potential cost savings : from identified projects (can use payback to derive) H8-9 Energy savings/contribution : care with units (use MWh/y if possible, avoid %) *

  14. Updating NIs • OPET-CU has reviewed & updated all NIs • OPETs must confirm validity and answer outstanding queries : do this at AGM ! • Then use NIs effectively in Final Reports • Seek advice from OPET-CU if necessary • Try to focus more on Performance

  15. Focusing on Performance WHY Define impact of OPET & Network WHEN Now : data needed for Final Report HOW Use existing information sources Use 3rd parties to generate data Follow up Tasks already completed

  16. Focusing on Performance Examples : • Use plans (G1) to identify project/ investment opportunities (H5) • Use audits/studies (G2) to identify potential energy savings/contribution (H8) • Follow-up events (D1/D2) to identify technology matches (H1/H2)

  17. Success Stories • Role of Success Stories • Types of Success Story • Information Needed • Links to Network Indicators • What to do Now

  18. Role of Success Stories • Key part of OPET Network Book • Demonstrate impact of Network • Identify & promote innovative approaches • Promote OPETs & FEMOPETs involved IT IS IN YOUR INTEREST TO PARTICIPATE

  19. Types of Success Story • Full ‘case-study’ description (1-2 pages) • Short ‘mini case-study’ (half page) • Statement of endorsement by client etc • Other suggestions welcome ! FLEXIBLE APPROACH & PRESENTATION, BUT FOCUS ON MARKET APPROACH NOT TECHNOLOGY USED

  20. Information Needed • OPET, Task, Time, Field, Technology • Title, Target Market, Objectives • Transnationality, Output & Follow-Up • Impact on the Market & Verification USE PRO-FORMA PROVIDED BY OPET-CU COMPLETE WHERE POSSIBLE & RETURN

  21. Links with NIs • Essential to demonstrate impact on the target market • Performance NIs are the most appropriate and simplest way to do this • Output NIs alone are not enough, but they may still be relevant • NIs used in Case Studies must be verifiable

  22. What to do Now NIs Validate list of NIs prepared by CU Focus on generating Performance Use NIs effectively in Final Reports SSs Complete pro-forma & return to CU Update NIs for SS activities Provide additional info. when asked
