Measures matter, but so do people.

7. Key Success Factors Voiced at the Kick-off:
Shared Vision
“We need to decide what we want to know together; data will depend on the question we are asking.” (Kick-off Participant)
Shared Data
“It would be extremely useful to house all of the data collected in a universal location where a variety of actors can access this information.” (Kick-off Participant)
Collaboration
“Use the indicators to promote collaboration. If people see the benefit, they can have a better conversation.” (Kick-off Participant)

8. Project will bring many partners to the table. (11 x 17 handout)
SLIDE 12 – FRAMEWORK MOCK-UP
The factors that drive the well-being of our people, place and prosperity are complex and inter-related. Each sector has content experts, decades of research, work on the ground, networks and relationships. This project will bring as many of these stakeholders to the table as possible.
This is important, because many issues penetrate sector “boundaries”. One small example: people who project prison bed needs often look at third graders to predict how many prison beds they’ll need in the future.
Follow along on the 11x17 handout
Click #1: Top level
PSU, Metro and other partners have proposed a straw man framework for regional indicators. It includes economic prosperity, education, culture, civic engagement, well-being, access & mobility, quality housing & communities and healthy natural environment.
Click #2: Second level
The top-level categories are very broad. To make sure we don’t leave out big hunks of issues, here is a second tier of possible subcategories, based in part on indicator categories from Metro, the Oregon Benchmarks and similar frameworks.
Click #3: Third level
These are specific indicator ideas draw from the Metro’s indicator sets and the Oregon Benchmark framework. Stakeholders in these different fields will need to refine these based on what they agree are the most important goals and the drivers of progress toward those goals.
Click #4: Metro’s Making the Greatest Place goals
You can see how pervasive Metro’s work is in this triple-bottom line framework for our region’s well-being. Although Metro has strong interest and commitment to economic and social issues, it is strongest in the built and natural environment categories.
