United  Kingdom  “To those who say this sounds like a distraction from the serious business of government, I say finding out what will improve lives and acting on it is the serious business of government.

"We'll continue to measure gross domestic product. But it is high time we admitted that, taken on its own, GDP is an incomplete way of measuring a country's progress.” – Prime Minister David Cameron

Objec.ve  Indicators  Why  Objec.ve  Indicators?  -­‐  A  balanced  picture  

-­‐  and…..  Two  scenarios  •  Subjec.ve  measure  for  environment  high  

•  GHG  emissions  trending  up,  solid  waste  increasing  •  Policies  &  Programs  may  not  be  successful  without  

incen.ves,  educa.on  

•  Subjec.ve  measure  for  environment  low  •  GHG  emissions  trending  up,  solid  waste  increasing  

•  Greater  reliance  on  collabora.ons  and  partnerships  may  lead  to  higher  success  rates  

Page 27: Part2 whowhatwhenwhere

Objec.ve  Indicators  A  few  of  the  issues:  •  Number  of  indicators  •  Reliability    

•  Data  collec.on  method  –  secondary,  primary,  partners  

•  Timely  •  Relevance  

•  Reflect  the  reality  of  users  •  Useful  to  user  –  policy,  CBO,  media…  

•  Scalable    •  Consistency

Objec.ve  Indicators  To  gather  data  for  the  objec.ve  indicators  for  your  area:    

•  Determine  objec.ve  indicators  for  your  area.  The  Happiness  Ini.a.ve  provides  suggested  indicators.  Use  indicators  already  in  place  if  you  can  

•  Determine  the  geographic  scope  that  you  want  to  gather  data  for.    

•  Where  you  can,  collect  data  to  the  smallest  “grain”  (e.g.  neighborhoods,  city,  county)  that  you  can.    Then  collect  data  for  the  scope  you  have  determined.  

•  If  no  data  is  available  for  your  region,  note  this  (rather  than  leaving  the  field  blank)  as  the  unavailability  of  data  is  informa.ve  

Page 35: Part2 whowhatwhenwhere

Objec.ve  Indicators  

•  Who  Collects  Data:  team,  commilee,  intern,  grad  student,  college  class,  etc.    

•  Colle8ng  Data:  Collec.ng  data  can  take  a  great  deal  of  .me.  It  is  important  the  data  is  reliable.    If  you  can,  work  with  an  agency  that  is  already  collec.ng  data  or  a  university  or  college  so  you  know  the  data  you  provide  is  good  informa.on.      

•  Objec8ve  Indicators  Advisory  CommiTee:  Convene  an  objec.ve  indicator  advisory  commilee  to  help  iden.fy  data  sources  and  review  your  data.
