St. Charles View of Performance Measurement

A team without a scoreboard is not playing the
game it is only practicing. Tom Malone,
President, Miliken Co.

City of St. Charles Vision Statement
  • We will preserve our unique character as a
    dynamic, prosperous city, maintaining the small
    town charm, the natural beauty of the Fox Valley,
    and the quality schools, parks and services that
    make St. Charles distinct. Our historic downtown
    is the heart of the community, and keeping it
    healthy and vibrant is essential. Building on
    our heritage, we will balance nature and
    development

22
How Do We Know?
23
Reasons to Use Performance Measures
  • What gets measured, gets done
  • You cant tell success from failure
  • If you cant see success, you cant learn from it
  • If you cant see success, you cant reward it
  • If you cant see failure, you cant correct it
  • If you can demonstrate results, you can win
    public support
