Project description: Strategic Planning: Evaluation and Key Performance Indicators
This organizational research and outcomes evaluation report offered recommendations to support Futures Ignite (formerly known as Friends of WHEELS) in relation to the organization’s ongoing strategic planning work. Below is an articulation of Futures Ignite’s strategic priorities aligned alongside: (1) core programmatic design components; (2) outcomes evaluation arenas; and (3) proposed benchmarks for measuring key performance indicators.
After extensive consulting with the Executive Director, great emphasis was placed on articulating key performance indicators (KPIs) for Strategic Priority 1: Deepen work within WHEELS. In doing so, this report emphasizes the benchmark experiences, outcomes and KPIs for three major constituent groups: (a) current WHEELS students; (b) WHEELS alumni; and (c) organizational partners. Strategic Priority 2: Generate a Replicable Model and Strategic Priority 3: Expand Reach Beyond Wheels were also included in the strategic implications but a further articulation of the measurements of the related KPIs around those priority areas will emerge with a subsequent evaluation plan that Futures Ignite seeks to undertake across the lifecycle of the strategic plan.
