Results Accountability Performance Measures
Haven’t we heard about this before?
Everyone wants to:•Improve our programs & maximize impact•Leverage support for our programs
![Page 5: BBVT_Results Based Accountability_Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54b936e84a7959ce528b4580/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What gets in the way?
• “Too little time”• “Other priorities”• “Too complicated”• “Too many hard decisions”• “We don’t have expertise – or $$ to hire someone”• “They don’t get it”• “Doesn’t feel relevant”
• Overthinking…Trying too hardBenchmarks for a Better VT March 2012 5

What is Results Accountability?

Shifting our Thinking
Results Accountability is NOT:•a product•a year-end evaluation •software•(just) a reporting tool
Results Accountability IS a :•behavior discipline •framework for planning, doing, and evaluating •process for moving from Talk to Action•cycle for continuous improvement•tool for communicating

Shifting our Thinking
RBA is NOT:•fancy•new •a side track
RBA is :
•simple•the MAIN track
RBA is :•asking an answering common sense questions (that we already think about all the time)

Common Sense Questions• What do we want?• How will we recognize it?• How do things look?• What will it take to get the results we want?• Who are the partners with a role to play?
• What is our role in helping achieve the result?• How good of a job are we doing?

A few words about LANGUAGE
• Outcome, Result, Benchmark, Goal, Target
• It doesn’t matter what you call it, as long as people know what you mean.
You can call me anything you like, but just don’t call me late for dinner (or do I mean supper?).

Choosing Performance Measures (1)
• Answer all 3 questions• Choose what YOU want to know
– What do we need to know to plan? – Evaluate our work? – Make it better?
• Don’t think (too much) about others • This is about the program

Choosing Performance Measures (2)
• Whole staff activity – Central part of planning, service delivery,
budgeting, communications, reporting
• Map out what you will measure & why• Look at what you already have• TRACK OVER TIME• TRY something. Did that work/help? Try
something else.

Remember:• Anyone can do this, at any time. Period.
• This is a whole staff/whole organization process. All the time.
• Don’t worry about perfection. Sketch it (don’t etch it).
• Your program is not responsible for population level results.
• You have a role to play in population level results. Know what that is.
• Your program is responsible for helping its participants be better off. You have to know if and how.
• Keep RBA questions in your pocket, bring them with you. Say, “How much? How well? Anyone better off?” Say, “Who is responsible for that? For this?”
