TPM Webinar 29: Linking Performance to Strategy — Advancing Performance-Based Planning | VideoWebinar/Video
TPM Webinar 29 explored the critical connection between performance measurement and strategic planning in State Transportation Agencies (STAs), delving into how STAs can effectively bridge the gap between setting their long-term vision and daily operations, while incorporating new types of data to show progress. We examined practical approaches to:
Establish Meaningful Linkages: Discover how to align performance measures with strategic goals and objectives.
Select the Right Metrics: Explore different types of measurements to accurately track progress, including outcome-based, output-based, and efficiency metrics.
Integrate Key Considerations: Learn how to incorporate essential factors like risk management, asset management, and financial planning into your performance framework.
Drive Data-Driven Decisions: Understand how to use performance data to inform resource allocation, prioritize projects, and optimize transportation investments.
Communicate Success: Develop strategies for effectively communicating performance results to transportation stakeholders and the public.
