It is also important to have measurement tools in place to determine whether our strategies ultimately achieve the outcomes we expect with the investment we are making. Performance measures, both objective in nature such as statistical data, as well as subjective data, including citizen and specific client surveys, are used by agencies to monitor progress. In addition, the Oregon Benchmarks provide a long-range perspective on monitoring key economic, social and environmental data. Agencies are required to link their key performance measures to the Benchmarks. The Progress Board has also organized Benchmark data to align with the Oregon Principles. This data and highlights of key measures by principle are available online at www.das.state.or.us.

 

New measurement tools may need to be developed to best capture information for elected officials and the public about how and whether these strategies achieve the Governor’s vision. Additional outcome measurement information will be available by principle on the Governor’s website as it is developed.
