  1. More outcome-indicators!„Yes, but ….“ Some preliminary remarks – from an Austrian perspective Roland Arbter Gdansk, 7 July 2011 roland.arbter@bka.gv.at

  2. Official AT statement on 5th Cohesion Report (02/2011) • Austriais in favour of improving evaluation and supports measurable outcome indicators if these are actually feasible in practice …. • Early warning against unrealistic expectations! • … availability of suitable indicators (on regional and local level), costs, … • … effects of complex interventions not to be separated from other influences, often identifiable only in the long term • Assessment of the effects of a programme is characterized by substantial incertitude … thus, the results are certainly not reliable enough to be linked to formal incentives or sanctions (e.g. performance reserve) • …. Austrian pilot methods could contribute at EU-level More performance-oriented policies | Gdansk, 7.7.2011

  3. Interests behind … ? More performance-oriented policies | Gdansk, 7.7.2011

  4. Mapping/monitoring of change processes („Process Monitoring of Impacts“) Inputs are used to produce outputs (= projects) Outputs are used (by someone, in a specific manner) to reach results Results will lead to impacts (intended / unexpected) in a plausible manner Inputs Outputs Results Impacts Financial Table Typology of projects (output) to be supported Objectives at the level of Areas of intevention / Activities Objectives at the level of Priority or Program Commitments Output- Indicators Result- indicators Disbursements More performance-oriented policies | Gdansk, 7.7.2011

  5. Impact mapping on level of Areas of interventions Intended results (related to funded project) Project types/ Outputs „Impact“ (on higher level) „Hypothesis of impacts“ Enterprises (especially SME) collaborate in networks (also with large enterprises) Increased linkages between enterprises at regional level / scale Advise for co-operation AF6 Enterprises (especially SME carry out reorganization processes Sustainable stabilization of enterprises Adaptation to international competition Enterprises (especially SME) carry out product finding processes New / improved products, services and production processes External expertise, process consulting Enterprises (especially SME) introduce new technologies Increase in employment / new jobs AF6 Enterprises (especially SME) gain new markets New contacts with clients/ new orders Enterprises (especially SME) conceive innovation-/ investment projects Services to sensitize for innovations AF6 More performance-oriented policies | Gdansk, 7.7.2011

  6. 2 Intended results (related to funded project) Project types/ Outputs „Impact“ (on higher level) „Hypothesis of impacts“ Enterprises (especially SME) collaborate in networks (also with large enterprises) Increased linkages between enterprises at regional level / scale Advise for co-operation AF6 40 Enterprises (especially SME carry out reorganization processes 65 Sustainable stabilization of enterprises 25 Adaptation to international competition Enterprises (especially SME) carry out product finding processes 143 New / improved products, services and production processes 40 External expertise, process consulting Enterprises (especially SME) introduce new technologies Increase in employment / new jobs 9 AF6 Enterprises (especially SME) gain new markets New contacts with clients/ new orders 2 Enterprises (especially SME) conceive innovation-/ investment projects Services to sensitize for innovations AF6 Impact mapping on level of Areas of interventions ….

  8. Questions/Concerns „… between Scylla and Charybdis?“ • „More than (valuable) EU-wide awareness raising?“ • Bridging interests between …. • EU – national – regional/local ? • Political (justification) – programme management needs? • Sectoral – integrated „place-based“ approach • … • Ensuring proportionality ! • Scope/EU-demands on programme level – AoI-level – project level? • Handling „smaller“ programmes (and budgets on AoI-level)? • Scope and limits of future thematic focussing at OP-/AoI-level? • „Cost-benefits“ vs level of ambition? • … „will the availability of indicators steer the OP-focus?“ • „Thinking still too mechanistic?“ More performance-oriented policies | Gdansk, 7.7.2011
