DRAWBACKS OF OUR COMMUNITY DASHBOARD

15

The data are not detailed enough to direct action or evaluate the success of specific strategies.

The organization maintaining the dashboard does not fund or provide direct client services.

No agency or organization is fully responsible for any one indicator.

Moving an indicator in the right direction requires action by multiple stakeholders, organizations, and the community at large.

BENEFITS OF OUR COMMUNITY DASHBOARD

16

Joint ownership – common language Provides an opportunity to elevate the

work of community partnerships and builds their community identity as the key entity for an issue.

Helps stakeholders better appreciate how their success is tied to success in other disciplines, jurisdictions or sectors.

Helps identify areas needing more attention.

Tells a story about the entire community and gauging our collective success.
