Welcome to the Performance Measurement Toolkit for Local Economic Development published by the Province of British Columbia.

This Excel Workbook and its accompanying step-by-step Guide are available on the Province's economic development online portal
www.gov.bc.ca/economicdevelopment

The steps outlined in the Workbook and Guide can be completed individually or by a small group of key stakeholders. The time required to
complete a performance measurement plan will vary by community, project and program - feel free to scale and approach as you see fit.

We would like to acknowledge Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and their Measuring Up! guide as it inspired
the approach used in this workbook.

For support using this workbook, contact your local Economic Development Regional Manager (provincial staff) or
email us at: EconomicDevelopment@gov.bc.ca

Version 2.0, released in March 2017

Instructions: Determine your current state of economic development work by outlining your overall goal, available resources, activities and measures. If
applicable, use your strategic or planning documents to inform your responses. This Workbook can be used for individual programs or projects (e.g. Business
Walks initiative or full BRE program) or for your economic development function as a whole.

1. The ultimate outcome of this program/project is…

2. The resources/inputs we have available 3. The various activities that are being
for this program/project are: undertaken by this program/project are:

This could include

program categories
This could include: (sector
- staff time development, BRE,
- funding communication)
- partnerships
- committees or project activities
- existing programs (business walks,
- existing services skills training,
consultation)

4. The indicators/measures we currently

track or have asked to be tracked are:

Examples:
- jobs created
- business licences
- # contacts made
- website visits
- demographic info
 Instructions: A logic model is a visual representation of how your program or project's activities contribute to its ultimate outcome. The inputs, activities and ultimate
outcome have been autofilled from the About You - Inventory tab. Follow the three steps below to identify the outputs and outcomes to complete your draft logic model. Once
complete, it will inform the next step of choosing measurement indicators. Proceed to the Indicators - Long List tab.

Instructions: Indicators have been autofilled from the About You - Inventory tab. Add to the list by brainstorming a variety of potential indicators for each activity, output and
outcome in your draft logic model. Indicators can be quantitative or qualitative. During this process you should modify or clarifiy components of your draft logic model to better reflect
your program and project as needed. When complete, proceed to the Indicators - Short List tab.

Step Two: Refer directly to your logic model and consider indicator(s) for each output and
outcome.
Is there anything missing? Are there any outcomes you can't think of any indicators for? If
so, you may want to re-evaluate their inclusion in your logic model .

Step Three: Go to the Indicator Library tab to see if there are other relevant data sources
to consider as indicators for your program or project.
Be sure to relate it back to your logic model - where would they fit?
Is anything missing?
Are there any indicators that you can include for "communication" purposes?
 Instructions: This library contains a selection of potential indicators, economic data sources and guidance on where to find information. Consider each indicator within the context of your program or pro
subjective indicators such as quality, ease and satisfaction are open for interpretation and should be grounded by your priorities and plans. Be sure to separate your economic indicators and your performa
indicators, and consider which you are reporting on as information and which ones as directly tied to your economic development activities. Finally, make sure to establish a way of tracking qualitative indic
'story' of your program or project is an incredibly powerful performance measurement approach.

to track as part of your implementation plan. Keep in mind that the cut-off number of high priority indicators varies from community to community, and it is up to you to
determine how many indicators to include. When complete, proceed to the Implementation Plan tab.

filter in your Short List and select only "Yes" responses in the "Include in Workplan?" column. Then, proceed through each column for all your high priority indicators to finalize your
implementation plan. The last two columns are optional, as this level of detail may not be relevant for your program or project. Consider the separate table “Other Data to Collect and
