8. Two Projects Regional Success Measures create a single, shared set of indicators, supported by a cross-sector regional partnership, to create a common view of the region’s performance. Includes social, economic, and environmental Urban Competitiveness Strategies guide business attraction, expansion, and retention and job creation to support (re) development in the core cities & connected transit corridors Achieve Triple Bottom Line results (economic development that is socially equitable and environmentally sustainable) Shared Prosperity Work Group

11. What Matters Gets Measured There’s consensus in our region that indicators are important – they help us, as a region, answer key questions: How do you know your region is making progress, if you do not measure change? What if the region is changing, but the public doesn’t recognize what is happening? What can stimulate regional leaders to take action? Regional metrics provide answers to these fundamental questions and can create a common fact base to develop regional solutions. SOURCE: Questions adapted from the Lincoln Land Institute, Alliance for Regional Stewardship
12. The Project: Regional Success Indicators This year, our region will create a set of shared, objective metrics to track the Greater MSP region’s overall success on critical economic, environmental and social outcomes. The result for our region will be More effective regional priority-setting Greater coordination across regional initiatives Better visibility & use of existing data assets Increased economic competitiveness

15. Our Region’s Unique Challenge Our region does not lack metrics. We have done a great work and invested huge resources to create multiple indicator sets. But in practice, this diffusion of effort and focus robs us of the benefit of measurement. Where do we all look to answer the most basic question: How are we doing? Without consensus on a single, shared set of metrics we are struggling to move consistently and quickly from measurement to collective action. ACT MEASURE REVIEW
16. Finish the Job We have the opportunity to draw upon all of our work to date and establish a shared set of key metrics. This capstone effort on regional measurement will help leaders converge around a set of metrics that are: Objective Comprehensive (economic, social, environmental) Compact (20-25 key measures in 5-6 categories) Benchmarked against peer regions Clearly and consistently communicated Endorsed and used by organizations region-wide
17. The Push to Act Consensus accelerator The benefits of a shared dashboard for leaders in the public, private and nonprofit sectors would be immediate and significant. The new consensus around key metrics will help us manage growth, focus investment, set strategic priorities and act more quickly in areas requiring cross-sector collaboration. Regional Economic Development Strategy Establishing regional indicators is one of the six action items identified in the region’s 3-5 year competitiveness strategy. The new indicators will provide a data-driven, comprehensive answer to the fundamental question “how are we doing” and enable a new range of collaborative endeavors central to execution of the strategy. Global best practice High-performing regions around the globe use indicators to develop and maintain a common understanding of what’s critical to their success. In our region, the indicators will be used to benchmark against national and international peers and, over time, produce valuable trend data on our region’s performance.
18. PRELIMINARY Successful regions around the world are adopting indicators to drive continued growth and prosperity Example to be explored to select MSP’s indicators London Seattle Boston Philadelphia Charlotte Seoul San Diego Atlanta Singapore SOURCE: City and agency websites
19. PRELIMINARY Like most best practice regional indicators, San Diego’s are organized into categories San Diego’s indicators are prominently displayed on the homepage of the regional economic development organization Oriented to tell story of region’s talent, e.g., talent has its own category, above economy Engaging, at-a-glance display both simplifies message and invites viewer to explore SOURCE: SanDiegoBusiness.org/Research; Io.inc, McKinsey Cities Initiative
20. London’s set of indicators is focused on sustainable development, which it defines broadly SOURCE: London Sustainable Development Commission
21. A Meaningful Step Toward Greater Regional Equity Private, public and nonprofit leaders in our region agree greater equity must be a top priority. Our regional dashboard can place equity measures on the same plane as other primary metrics, such as economic growth. The result will be more accountability for all of us on the goals we believe are critical to our long-term success. GROWTH INFRASTRUCTURE TALENT Equity
22. PRELIMINARY Process: Boardrooms and Spreadsheets We begin by engaging leaders to build consensus around the categories for the regional dashboard. Technical expertise is phased in as the conversation turns to choosing specific metrics.

23. Process: Recognizing and Incorporating Existing Efforts This effort willleverage the consensus established by all previous and current efforts about what areas deserve measurement and tracking. There is nopresumption that the new shared dashboard will replace any of the current data sets. Dialogue with many public, private and nonprofit organizations is a core element of this project.
