5
Establishing Priorities and Desired Outcomes Understanding True Cost Measuring Performance Collecting & Reporting Meaningful Data No Silver Bullets; But Context, New Insight and Better Decisions
6
Consider the willingness of citizens to pay What does the tax payer get? Does the budget reflect citizen priorities? Are you achieving desired outcomes? Does your line item budget give you tunnel vision?
7
Goal: Allocate resources to programs and services that are effective at achieving the highest priority ends.
8
#1 Set revenues #2 Establish broad community outcomes (ex: Community Safety) #3 Define what causes the outcome (ex: control crime, safe transit etc.) #4 Establish teams for review and scoring #5 Rank/ compare programs based on effectiveness #6 Allocate resources accordingly #7 Measure results
9
Establish a complete inventory of services (within or across departments) Identify the total true cost of the services Develop ways to measure the effectiveness of each service Review and discuss

“If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand something, you can’t control it. If you can’t control something, you can’t improve it.” ~H. James Harrington
17
Outputs: simple measures of raw counts of activities or services Efficiency: relates outputs to resources used (inputs) Outcome: gauges impact, effectiveness and quality
18
Gain insight and context you wont otherwise know Test the efficacy of strategy Helps communicate results and value Drives innovation

Add context Translate/ Interpret information Use the data you have in a better way Collect important data that you don’t have Use simple models to vet important decisions
24
You don’t know if you don’t ask The people you hear from don’t represent everybody Measure citizen satisfaction Facility use Gauge interest in new programs/ services Educate your citizens at the same time

Good for the “what if?” Looks at more than one variable at once Provides “real time” analysis Puts potential outcomes in context
31
Moving beyond the line item… Consider priorities Work with true costs Measure and report performance Do more with data
