2. In the Beginning….. The Best Start Network began the Results Based Accountability (RBA) process by determining Resultsfor Children and Families. • Children Ready For School • Children Achieving Their Full Potential • Inclusive and Supportive Community • Stable Families

3. Indicators The Network chose “Headline Indicators” to measure the progress toward these results. The goal is to identify indicators that: • Communicate well • Tell us something of central importance about the result • For which good information is available

4. Re-Visiting the Terms of Reference The BSN participated in a visioning exercise to revisit and redefine their: • Core values • Vision • Mission

5. Establishing a Plan Network members engaged in broad planning toward these results. Moving from the macro plan (Results) that guide their work, the Network developed a strategic plan that identifies the Networks contribution toward these results. They established: • Goals • Strategies • Objectives • Initiatives

6. BSIPN goals The Community Results are not the work of the Network alone, but rely on many partners and stakeholders to achieve this level of change. The Goals are the Networks contribution to achieving the Results. Goals describe what the Network wants to achieve.

7. Strategies We achieve our goals through major strategies. Strategies are statements of general approach. The most closely related Indicator is noted for each strategy.

8. Initiatives Strategies are implemented through the initiatives undertaken by the BSIPN and its sub-committees. Initiatives are specific programs, projects or activities employed by the Network that move the strategies forward.
