3 Results-Based Accountability is made up of two parts: Performance Accountability is about the well-being of CUSTOMER POPULATIONS for Programs – Agencies – Service Systems Population Accountability is about the well-being of WHOLE POPULATIONS for Communities – Cities – Counties – States - Nations

4 COMMON LANGUAGE

5 THE LANGUAGE TRAP Too many terms. Too few definitions. Too little discipline Benchmark Target IndicatorGoal Result Objective Outcome Measure Modifiers Measurable Core Urgent Qualitative Priority Programmatic Targeted Performance Incremental Strategic Systemic Lewis Carroll Center for Language Disorders Measurable urgent systemic indicators Core qualitative strategic objectives Make up your own jargon.

6 DEFINITIONS Children born healthy, Children ready for school, Safe communities, Clean Environment, Prosperous Economy Rate of low-birthweight babies, Percent ready at K entry, crime rate, air quality index, unemployment rate 1. How much did we do? 2. How well did we do it? 3. Is anyone better off? RESULT or OUTCOME INDICATOR or BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE MEASURE A condition of well-being for children, adults, families or communities. A measure which helps quantify the achievement of a result. A measure of how well a program, agency or service system is working. Three types: Population Performance Children born healthy Rate of low-birthweight babiesPercent ready at K entry Children ready for school crime rate Safe communities air quality index Clean Environment unemployment rate Prosperous Economy INDICATOR RESULT PERFORMANCE MEASURE Population Performance = Customer Results 1. 2. 3.

22 PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY

23 Results-Based Accountability is made up of two parts: Performance Accountability is about the well-being of CUSTOMER POPULATIONS for Programs – Agencies – Service Systems Population Accountability is about the well-being of WHOLE POPULATIONS for Communities – Cities – Counties – States - Nations

24 “All performance measures that have ever existed for any program in the history of the universe involve answering two sets of interlocking questions.”

25 How Much did we do? ( # ) How Well did we do it? ( % ) Quantity Quality Performance Measures

26 Effort How hard did we try? Effect Is anyone better off? Performance Measures

27 Effort Effect How Much How Well Performance Measures

28 How much service did we deliver? Performance Measures How well did we deliver it? How much change / effect did we produce? What quality of change / effect did we produce? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Output Input

29 How much did we do? Performance Measures How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort # %

30 How much did we do? Education How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Number of students Student-teacher ratio Number of high school graduates Percent of high school graduates

31 How much did we do? Education How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Number of students Student-teacher ratio Percent of 9 th graders who graduate on time and enter college or employment after graduation Number of 9 th graders who graduate on time and enter college or employment after graduation

32 How much did we do? Drug/Alcohol Treatment Program How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Number of persons treated Percent of staff with training/ certification Number of clients off of alcohol & drugs - at exit - 12 months after exit Percent of clients off of alcohol & drugs - at exit - 12 months after exit Quantity Quality Effect Effort

33 How much did we do? Mental Health How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Number of hours of treatment Time until the next opening in the appointment schedule Number of clients in school or employed Percent of clients in school or employed

34 How much did we do? Homeless Services How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Number of bed days provided Staff turnover rate Number of clients who return within 3 months Percent of clients who return within 3 months (recidivism rate)

35 How much did we do? Fire Department How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Number of responses Response Time Quantity Quality Effect Effort # of fires kept to room of origin % of fires kept to room of origin

36 How much did we do? General Motors How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? # of production hrs # tons of steel Employees per vehicle produced # of cars sold $ Amount of Profit $ Car value after 2 years Quantity Quality Effect Effort Source: USA Today 9/28/98 % Market share Profit per share % Car value after 2 years

37 How much did we do? Not All Performance Measures Are Created Equal How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Least Important Quantity Quality Effect Effort Most Important Least Most Also Very Important Quality

38 How much did we do? The Matter of Control How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort Least Control PARTNERSHIPS Most Control

39 How much did we do? Program Performance Measures How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? Quantity Quality Effect Effort # %

40 How much did we do? Performance Accountability Types of Measures found in each Quadrant How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? # Clients/customers served # Activities (by type of activity) % Common measures e.g. client staff ratio, workload ratio, staff turnover rate, staff morale, % staff fully trained, % clients seen in their own language, worker safety, unit cost % Skills / Knowledge (e.g. parenting skills) # % Attitude / Opinion (e.g. toward drugs) # % Behavior (e.g.school attendance) # % Circumstance (e.g. working, in stable housing) # % Activity-specific measures e.g. % timely, % clients completing activity, % correct and complete, % meeting standard Point in Time vs. 2 Point Comparison # %

41 How much did we do? Service: __________________________________ How well did we do it? Is anyone better off?

50 How Population & Performance Accountability FIT TOGETHER

51 Contribution relationship Alignment of measures Appropriate responsibility THE LINKAGE Between POPULATION and PERFORMANCE POPULATION ACCOUNTABILITY Healthy People Rate of low birth-weight babies Clean Environment Percent fully ready per K-entry assessment Prosperous Economy Rate of unemployment CUSTOMER RESULTS # persons receiving training Unit cost per person trained # who get jobs & keep jobs (at 6 months) % who get jobs & keep jobs (at 6 months) PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY POPULATION RESULTS Job Training Program

52 Every time you present your program, Use a two-part approach. Result: to which you contribute to most directly. Indicators: Story: Partners: What would it take?: Your Role: as part of a larger strategy. Population Accountability Program: Performance measures: Story: Partners: Action plan to get better: Performance Accountability Your Role

54 Different Kinds of Progress 1. Data a. Population indicators Actual turned curves: movement for the better away from the baseline. b. Program performance measures: customer progress and better service: How much did we do? How well did we do it? Is anyone better off? 2. Accomplishments: Positive activities, not included above. 3. Stories behind the statistics that show how individuals are better off.

64 Turn the Curve Exercise: Population Well-being 5 min:Starting Points - timekeeper and reporter - geographic area - two hats (yours plus partner’s) 10 min:Baseline - pick a result and a curve to turn - forecast (to 2017 ) – OK or not OK? 15 min:Story behind the baseline - causes/forces at work - information & research agenda part 1 - causes 15 min:What works? (What would it take?) - what could work to do better? - each partners contribution - no-cost / low-cost ideas - information & research agenda part 2 – what works 10 min:Report convert notes to one page Two pointers to action

65 ONE PAGE Turn the Curve Report: Population Result: _______________ Indicator (Lay Definition) Indicator Baseline Story behind the baseline --------------------------- --------------------------- (List as many as needed) Partners --------------------------- --------------------------- (List as many as needed) Three Best Ideas – What Works 1. --------------------------- 2. --------------------------- 3. ---------No-cost / low-cost Sharp Edges 4. --------- Off the Wall

66 Turn the Curve Exercise: Program Performance 5 min:Starting Points - timekeeper and reporter - identify a program to work on - two hats (yours plus partner’s) 10 min:Performance measure baseline - choose 1 measure to work on – from the lower right quadrant - forecast (to 2017 ) – OK or not OK? 15 min:Story behind the baseline - causes/forces at work - information & research agenda part 1 - causes 15 min:What works? (What would it take?) - what could work to do better? - each partners contribution - no-cost / low-cost ideas - information & research agenda part 2 – what works 10 min:Report convert notes to one page Two pointers to action

67 Program: _______________ Performance Measure (Lay definition) Performance Measure Baseline Story behind the baseline --------------------------- --------------------------- (List as many as needed) Partners --------------------------- --------------------------- (List as many as needed) Three Best Ideas – What Works 1. --------------------------- 2. --------------------------- 3. ---------No-cost / low-cost ONE PAGE Turn the Curve Report: Performance Sharp Edges 4. --------- Off the Wall

68 Turn the Curve Exercise – Lessons Talk to Action in an hour 1. How was this different from other processes? What worked and what didn’t work? 2. Why did we ask for: a. Results before indicators? b. Forecast? c. Story? d. No cost / low cost? e. Two hats? f. Crazy idea? g. Only 3 best ideas? 3. Do you think a lay audience could understand the reports? 4. How many think you could lead this exercise with a small group? (2+ curves at the same time)
