Continuous Improvement of the Community Indicators Process

• Partner with stakeholders and community to define and align

new indicators and monitor progress from a regional perspective

• Refine performance measures to connect with community

indicators when appropriate

• Establish clear relationships between performance measures,

strategic priorities, and community indicators

• Refine structure to more rigorously support performance measures

and community indicators to drive budget decisions, strategic planning and prioritization of allocation of resources

Next Steps

Key Takeaways

• How are we using data to tell the story of our community over time

and to drive decision-making?

• Indicators involve multiple factors and disaggregation for a

holistic view of an individual, family and community.

• We can not improve our community alone – it requires collaboration,

partnership, alignment and intentionality with our stakeholders

• Community indicators directly influence the budgeting process in

aligning our resources to identify priorities to be most effective in

• ur residents-first service delivery and focusing on the right thing

that will have the most impact?
