Annex D – Performance Measurement Framework Reporting for FY 21/22

The results for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are used to measure the strategy’s progress towards achieving what it is set out to accomplish can be found in Table 12. The outcomes and indicators are grouped by LoE and correspond to elements within the strategy. Within each LoE, different levels of outcomes were determined. The definition of outcome levels as defined by the THWS can be found in Table 11.

As many new initiatives were proposed through the strategy, some baselines and targets will need to be established to measure progress towards the expected outcomes. Once baseline data is determined, targets will be set within specific timeframes. In total, there are 51 KPIs in the THWS performance measurement framework (PMF). It is important to note that this report includes the latest data that is available, and therefore some results for this FY 2021/22 may not yet be available (eg. PSES, YSS, DRF Results). Furthermore, as many KPI’s are dependent on future action items or future data sources, the KPI measure itself may need to be realigned or adjusted once the context of the data source and contextual environment is in place to best measure the output.

Table 11: THWS Outcome Level Description

Outcome Level Description Approximate Timeline to Reach Outcome
Outputs The product of an activity or action. Outputs can be used as measures through quantifying an action, for example the action is “Deliver training to CAF members on xyz” and the output is “CAF members are trained on xyz” and an output measure would be “# of CAF members who have attended training on xyz” 0-1 year
Short-Term Outcomes These outcomes are the results expected of an activity/action output, which include changes in skills, awareness, attitudes and knowledge and are the first set of outcomes that might be observed. 1-3 years
Mid-Term Outcomes These expected results are directly connected to activities/actions, Short- or other Mid-term outcomes, typically including behavior, or decision making. They are generally larger changes that take time to make an impact (eg. Policy changes). An example would be “CAF members apply knowledge to outside contexts, and adopt to new policies” 3-5 yearsFootnote *
Long-Term Outcome Long-term strategic effect can take years to decades to achieve. These ultimate changes or impacts are directly connected to Mid- or other Long-term outcomes, and typically include social, economic, organizational culture, or environmental changes. 5-10 yearsFootnote *

LoE 1: Communicate, Educate, Collaborate Results
Key Performance Indicator Data Source Baseline Target Target Date 18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22
The KPIs under LoE 1 are all related to measuring the effectiveness of the communication and collaboration of the THWS. As the Strategy was just released, communication related action items have yet to be implemented, and therefore related KPIs are unavailable at this time. Additionally, some of the KPIs are dependent on data sources that are currently in development. As KPIs become available to be reported on they will be added to the annual report.
