Regional Success Measures: Project Recap  We have the opportunity to draw upon all of our work to date and establish a shared set of key metrics. WE ARE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH!  A dashboard where we all look to answer the most basic question: How are we doing?  Help leaders converge around a set of metrics that are: Objective Comprehensive (economic, social, environmental) Compact (20-25 key measures in 5-6 categories) Benchmarked against peer regions Clearly and consistently communicated Place equity measures on the same plane as other metrics such as economic growth. Endorsed and used by organizations region-wide MEASURE REVIEW ACT

Regional Success Measures: Project Recap Consensus accelerator The benefits of a shared dashboard for leaders in the public, private and nonprofit sectors would be immediate and significant. The new consensus around key metrics will help us manage growth, focus investment, set strategic priorities and act more quickly in areas requiring cross-sector collaboration. Regional Economic Development Strategy Establishing regional indicators is one of the six action items identified in the region’s 3-5 year competitiveness strategy. The new indicators will provide a data-driven, comprehensive answer to the fundamental question “how are we doing” and enable a new range of collaborative endeavors central to execution of the strategy. Global best practice High-performing regions around the globe use indicators to develop and maintain a common understanding of what’s critical to their success. In our region, the indicators will be used to benchmark against national and international peers and, over time, produce valuable trend data on our region’s performance.

 Choose 1 of the small groups  30 minutes gathering your feedback to: 1.Refine the stakeholder engagement process 2.Identify potential audiences and how they would use the indicators 3.Develop indicator categories  Bring discussion back to the larger group. Shared Prosperity Work Group8 How do we get there?

Shared Prosperity Work Group9 Why Is Stakeholder Engagement Important to this Project? Establishing regional consensus on a high-level, shared set of indicators is a primary deliverable of this project. LEADERSHIP TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP CONSENSUS BUILDING Regional Priorities Process, Goals, Outcomes METRIC IDENTIFICATION & SELECTION COMMUNICATION ADOPTION & UTILIZATION Engaging regional leaders is a priority because who uses the new dashboard and how are as important than how it looks and what it measures.

Audience: Who Shared Prosperity Work Group15 Our goal is to create a set of indicators that a broad variety of leaders and stakeholders from around the region will find relevant to them: – Business leaders/CEOs – Residents – Public officials (elected and staff) – Philanthropy/non-profits

Audience: Examples from other regions Shared Prosperity Work Group16 Philadelphia – an academically-led coalition – Housed in Temple University – Advisory members include academics, local non-profits, and a few business leaders Boston – – In their own words: “Non-profit organizations, program officers at foundations, city agencies, students, and practitioners all use our data to tell important stories that will inform future policies and development in Boston” Sacramento – land use focus – Public officials, particularly those who touch land use and transportation decisions – General public – Developers, real estate professionals

Audience: How Shared Prosperity Work Group17 We envision the audience will use these indicators to help them make decisions regarding their own programs and priorities, e.g., – Three non-profits form a partnership to move a sub-group of indicators important to all of them – A CEO bolsters testimony he is giving to the legislature using facts from the indicators – A program director at a non-profit alters their RFP focus to address an issue of concern – A family is prompted to changing their volunteering by a sobering indicator May not directly seek to impact metrics, i.e., may or may not use the indicators as a progress metric for their own efforts Many organizations, we imagine, will continue to collect goal-specific, actionable indicators of unique relevance to them and their stakeholders – this set of indicators is not meant to replace existing efforts

Audience: Examples of how other regions use indicators Shared Prosperity Work Group18 Seoul uses competitive indicators to increase pride in the region, market itself to businesses, tourists and potential new residents (all their indicators are externally-created rankings) San Diego uses metrics to define and also market itself as a great place for high-tech talent Philadelphia uses its indicators to illuminate differences between regional geographies. They issue reports, policy briefs, and provide interactive mapping software for partners to access indicators to support their own causes Seattle uses its indicators both to create a common understanding of who and what the region is, and to measure performance of the government on specific metrics Atlanta uses indicators to track progress towards shared regional goals

Audience: Discussion Questions Shared Prosperity Work Group19 What is your reaction to the audience we describe? – Should it be more broad? More narrow? How can we speak about the indicators in a way to draw in desired audience members? – Whom else would you like to see included in the audience description? How do you envision the audience using indicators? E.g., – Increasing public awareness/urgency – Building consensus among regional leaders on challenges, assets and solutions – Supporting more effective management of their projects or programs What implications do you see in the audience and their use of indicators for – Categories – Specific metrics: Actionable, informative, surprising? – Communications: Frequency, reach, level?

Indicator Category Development CRITERIA In aggregate, broad view of regional success (e.g. economic, social, environment) Relevant to every part of the region (e.g. urban, suburban, ex-urban) 5 – 7 categories which “bucket” 20 – 25 indicators total. Shared Prosperity Work Group20
