A framework for everyone

A key driver for the development of the Performance Monitoring Framework is to improve the organisations understanding of the outcomes of projects and programs and to use that understanding to adapt management and strengthen decision making.

The intent is that everyone at Sustainability Victoria will be a contributor and user of the framework and the lessons that come from its implementation. We want everyone to learn from their own and each others experiences and to be empowered to make better decisions.

So Board members, the Executive Team, Managers and Project Managers will all be involved in some way. We also intend to discuss the framework with some of our key stakeholders who may benefit from its implementation.

To ensure the framework is of strategic and practical use, two groups have been established to guide its development. A Board sub-committee is providing high level advice and guidance at key milestones throughout the project.

There’s also an internal reference group consisting of experienced staff from across the organisation with a real interest in evaluation and how it can be used to adapt management. The group is ensuring the framework is applicable across the broad range of sustainability projects that Sustainability Victoria delivers. Members are also promoting the benefits of evaluation and are contributing their own experiences from individual project evaluations. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel!
