Choosing success indicators is a crucial part of designing a performance
measurement system, yet its importance is often overlooked. The
process of choosing such indicators profoundly influences the likelihood
of their success. Nexus Consortium consultants can guide you in
a structured process, specific to your style of operation, that
will ensure the involvement and commitment of your staff, and result
in indicators that are measurable, meaningful, and achievable. Nexus
consultants can assist you to make annual reporting of the indicators
a positive experience and a reflection of the health of your program,
service or organization.
Nexus consultants can work with you and your staff to:
- Design a program logic or theory of change
- Identify the key elements of capacity required
- Identify measurable outputs resulting from activities
- Define short and long range desired outcomes
- Measure baselines for the above outputs and outcomes
