ASBDC SBA GOAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Dramatically improve the value of the national SBDC program by defining performance goals and an equitable method for allocation that ensures all networks achieve high performance measured by a credible, trusted and stakeholder accepted national economic assessment process.

  • - 2018 ASBDC Board of Directors

Unified Strategic Objective

slide-50
SLIDE 50

The U.S. Small Business Administration is seeking to establish open dialogue to examine our existing unified KPIs, i.e. Long-Term Clients (aka LTCs), New Business Starts and Capital Infusion. Our goal:

1. examine if existing KPIs are still appropriate and relevant, and, if not, identify new or additional KPIs that are appropriate and relevant to the long-term success of the national SBDC program, and 2. establish appropriate baselines that are and have an equitable allocation model for identified and goaled KPIs, and 3. develop clear and understandable definitions that result in a unified methodology for goal measurement and reporting.

ASBDC KPI Survey – Purpose

slide-51
SLIDE 51

What are your the most important leading, lagging and efficiency key performance indicators?

Leading KPIs

1. Consulting Hours 2. Capital Accessed 3. Clients Served

Lagging KPIs

1. Jobs Impact 2. Capital Accessed 3. Sales Impact 4. New Business Starts Efficiency KPIs 1. Cost per Job 2. Cost per Hour

slide-52
SLIDE 52

ASBDC GOAL

  • define appropriate SBDC program performance

metrics that are aligned to defined strategic

  • bjectives;
  • establish an equitable method for determining,

negotiating and allocating performance goals that will ensure all SBDC networks are appropriately motivated and driven to achieve high performance;

  • develop a system for data collection and analysis

that is satisfactory to both the agency and its partner resource programs, and

  • concur on a credible, trusted and multi-stakeholder

accepted national economic assessment model that measures program results and impact.

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Helping Businesses Grow & Succeed

Recommendations

1. IDENTIFY PERFORMANCE GOAL METRICS THAT ALIGN AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SBA DEFINED STRATEGIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

  • Long-term Clients (leading KPI)
  • Consulting Hours (leading KPI)
  • Capital Accessed (lagging KPI)
  • New Business Starts (lagging KPI)  Conditional
  • Client Recommendation Rate
  • “effectiveness” ratio

We recommend selection and implementation of any combination of the above five metrics, preferably no more than three unless the hybrid approach is implemented, to serve as performance goal metrics for

  • 2019. Further, we recommend that the metrics selected be mutually

reviewed annually thereafter by OED/OSBDC and America’s SBDC for their effectiveness and continued relevance.

slide-54
SLIDE 54

New Business Starts - Defined

CONDITION – New Businesses Created should be defined as substantive counseling attributed to assisting an individual(s) explore the establishment of a new business, not the expansion of an existing business, who achieved

  • ne or more of the following verified results:
  • Has documented a transaction from the sale of a product or

professional or personal service for the purpose of gain or profit OR

  • Has contracted for or compensated an employee(s), or independent

contractor(s) to perform essential business functions OR

  • Has acquired debt or equity capital to pursue business operations

(e.g., to purchase inventory, equipment, building, business, etc.) OR

  • Has incurred business expenses in the operation of a business.

Helping Businesses Grow & Succeed

Recommendations

2. ESTABLISH AN EQUITABLE METHOD FOR DETERMINING, NEGOTIATING AND ALLOCATING PERFORMANCE GOALS THAT WILL ENSURE ALL SBDC NETWORKS ARE APPROPRIATELY MOTIVATED AND DRIVEN TO ACHIEVE HIGH PERFORMANCE We recommend OED/OSBDC leadership work with the ASBDC Board to determine appropriate performance goals levels for the national program; establish an equitable method of performance goal allocation and negotiation process for individual networks, and clearly define and delineate policies and evaluation of performance. AND We recommend and request that the following scale be used to assess program performance toward individual performance goals:

Rank Description Achievement 1 Much Less Than Expected < 80% Goal Achieved 2 Less Than Expected 80% - 95% Goal Achieved 3 Met Expectations 95% - 105% 4 Exceeded Expectations 105% - 120% 5 Significantly Exceeded Expectations > 120%

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Helping Businesses Grow & Succeed

Recommendations

3. DEVELOP A SYSTEM FOR DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS THAT IS SATISFACTORY TO BOTH THE AGENCY AND ITS PARTNER RESOURCE PROGRAMS We recommend SBA assess its current system for data collection and analysis (i.e. EDMIS) to determine if it accurately, reliably, and consistently provides the Office of Entrepreneurial Development with the data necessary to properly assess and measure the effectiveness and efficiency of its partner resource programs. If not, we urge the development of a system that achieves these

  • bjectives.
slide-57

Helping Businesses Grow & Succeed

Recommendations

4. CONCUR ON A CREDIBLE, TRUSTED AND MULTI- STAKEHOLDER ACCEPTED NATIONAL ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT MODEL THAT MEASURES PROGRAM RESULTS AND IMPACT We recommend OED/OSBDC leadership work with the ASBDC Board to establish a credible, trusted and multistakeholder accepted national economic assessment model conducted by a third-party resource. Further, we recommend that such economic

  • utcomes for the national SBDC program should be reported by

SBA in the Congressional Budget Justification Report to demonstrate the economic contributions the SBDC program contributes to the national economy.
