Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

Actually the ten reasons are listed under the3 categories:

Failure to build staff capacity (3):•  Staff/Case managers•  Training providers /Demand Occupations•  Policy/decision makers

Page 7: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

Data Management MIS (3):•  Failure to have adequate MIS/tracking systems.

•   Rely solely on State Data

•   Failure to manage outcomes in real time.

Service Delivery & Systems Design Flaws (4):• Failure to modify service mix and systems design.

• Failure to adjust to economic climate

• Failure to conduct adequate follow-up

• Failure to monitor and adjust program outcomes

Failure to build staff capacity

Staff/Case managers–Maintain Professional and trained staff

–Keep Staff informed of Measures and outcomes

–Establish staff performance goals

–Coordinate/Collaborate with Partner Agencies

Page 10: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

10

Failure to build staff capacity

Training providers /Demand Occupations

– Develop training for high growth/high demand occupations

– Assess local areas to ensure that training is meeting

the needs of employers

Page 11: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

11

Failure to build staff capacity

Policy/decision makers

– Ensure that decision makers are kept well enough informed that decisions don’t negatively impact performance.

Page 12: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

Data Management MIS Failure to have adequate MIS/tracking systems

– Many states did not have adequate reporting systems

– There was little collaboration between State and Local Area reporting systems

– Systems were not user friendly nor Customer focused

Page 13: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

13

Data Management MIS 

Rely solely on State Data

– Many Local Areas had no systems and relied on the State to provide data

– Local Areas had no focus on measures to effectively manage program

– State’s primary focus on Federal Reports

Page 14: Ten Ways to Fail Performance Measures

Data Management MIS Failure to manage outcomes in real time.

Agencies failed to measure real-time outcomes– Number job placements– Number of participants served– Volume of participant services and activities

Agencies also failed establish proxy measures and alternative means to tracking ETA’s goals and lost focus on how to manage their programs on a day-by-day basis.

Service Delivery & Systems Design

Failure to modify service mix and systems design.

– Many States and local areas continued to operate programs in the JTPA mode.

– Enacting the same policies and serving the same clients.

– Proving the same training using same contracted training providers

Service Delivery & Systems Design

Failure to adjust to economic climate

– Local Areas did not make adjustment for changes in the economic client. As industries were diminishing, LWIAs continue training in diminishing occupational areas.

– Local Areas also failed align training with demand occupations in the LWIA.

Service Delivery & Systems Design

Failure to conduct adequate follow-up

– Many performance failures were directly attributed to the lack of follow-up both via case manager and electronic tracking.

– Youth measures and credential measures failed

because of inadequate follow-up services.

Service Delivery & Systems Design

Failure to monitor and adjust program outcomes

– Many State and Local Areas failed to adjust to the WIA system of Service delivery.

– Many programs operated under outdated contracts and boiler plates unrelated to existing performance goals

BEYOND ETA’s PERFORMANCE MEASURES:

Develop and establish measures to assistwith the day-to day operation of the One Stop.

Measure:1. One Stop daily/weekly or monthly Capacity2. Quality referrals and placements3. Employer contacts/job orders4. Partner agency activity5. Case Manager Activity
