Measuring Economic Development in the 21st Century

January 17, 2012
10:00 am - 11:00 a.m. PST

Presented by
Miles Friedman
Miles Friedman and Partners, LLC

Measuring the impact of economic development is an art...and a science. If handled effectively, performance measures can help guide the allocation of resources, protect a program from "meddling", avoid having outside interests redefining your program, help with mid-course corrections, and perhaps most importantly, support your funding requests. This session will provide information on how to accomplish these goals, and will explore the various options in gauging impact, the notion of performance measurement timelines and the management of expectations.
