Result or Outcome A condition of well-being for children, adults, families or communities. Population Indicator or Benchmark A measure which helps quantify the achievement of a result. How we know we achieve the result.

Your Performance Measures • Headline Measures 1-6 • Data Development Agenda 1-6
Sample performance measure • Where will the line go if we continue to do the same thing?
Discussing the data • What is the story behind the curve? • What would work to fix the problem? • What partners do we need? • Action plan
Meeting AGENDA 1. New data 1. New data 2. New story behind the curves 2. New story behind the curves 3. New partners 3. New partners 4. New information on what works. 5. New information on financing 6. Changes to action plan and budget 6. Changes to action plan and budget 7. Adjourn 7. Adjourn
Ends vs. Means Exercise Like this On a blank sheet of paper… Step 1. Draw 4 points that represent the 4 corners of a box or square, about two inches on a side. Step 2. Draw a line from the upper left point to the lower right point. Step 3. Draw a line from the upper right point to the lower left point. Step 4. Draw a horizontal line connecting the bottom two points. Step 5. Mark another point approximately 1 inch below the middle of the horizontal line. Step 6. Connect the upper left point to this new point Step 7. Connect the upper right point to this new point.
What do you have? A Star !!!
Question If I asked you to draw a star would you need the step-by-step instructions? Of course not ! So what’s the point?
