From page 17...
... In this context, we are going to talk about some selected aspects of the current version of the PATH model and raise some questions that should recur in the three PATH goal discussion panels. I do not want to say "here is the answer," but "here are some of the questions." Very often, when evaluators are brought to the table, or when performance measurement people come to the table, they start with the development of a logic model.

... The Coast Guard developed a performance measurement system using data of a kind they had never collected before. From this performance indicator system, they observed that there were unusually high rates of injuries and even fatalities in certain aspects of the seaborne industries.

From page 19...
... By looking at the draft PATH plan in terms of a logic model it suggests that there are three primary parts or goals that facilitate completing the program mission. One of those has to do with removing barriers, another with technology transfer through dissemination of information, and the third with facilitating R&D.

... Large national homebuilding companies may be responding differently than smaller builders, and builders in the South may respond differently than builders in the West. An additional complexity is that management decisions require current information.

... The new mission statement really says that the mission is to improve housing technology innovation in order to improve housing values, affordability, energy efficiency, and so forth. Looking at the outcomes, I don't see specific references to those values or the components of the values that are the mission of the program.

... discussions as the workshop addresses the different goals. As was noted, the objectives of the discussions are not to eliminate parts of the draft operating plan, but rather to give them input and help to determine how PATH can be most effective and where it can have the most impact.
