Checks and Balances: Oversight 61
Through this iterative process with formal reporting and monitoring in place, the
Columbus*Stat Panel is able to receive data on conditions and performance,
reshape programs, priorities and resource allocations among projects, and improve
accountability and service delivery to consumers.
Critical Success Factors:
· Develop relevant measures that are tied to mission, goals and objectives so as
not to waste time and money collecting unnecessary data.
· Set reasonable performance targets in advance to motivate departments to
deliver service improvements.
· Report accurate and timely data and regularly provide useful information for
managers.
· Train managers to understand how to learn new ways to use data, measures, com-
municate and report so that performance data will be used to inform decisions.
