Managing Implementation through Indicators
It's always questioned whether national development has been properly manage or not. It seems planning and implementation are two different islands that seem to be disconnected. A bridge to fill the gap is compulsory to ensure a particular project creates intended impact in long term.
One of important actions can be done to managing implementable planning is using indicators which have been set in the very beginning process which also can be used as an evaluation tool. Here is simple explanation of linkages between indicators to be used for managing implementation of particular projects.
In general there are four (4) distinctive indicators to be used to manage the implementation of particular projects: (1) impact indicators; (2) effectiveness; (3) efficiency; and (4) performance. Those are going to be explored as follows.
(1) Impact indicator can be assessed through calculating the gap between outcome of the project and the baseline or it is simply: Outcome(t1) - Baseline (t0);
(2) Effectiveness can be evaluated by comparing Outcome and Baseline. The simple equation is Outcome(t1)/Baseline(t0);
(3) Efficiency is determined by comparing the Output and Input or Output(t1)/Input(t1); and
(4) Performance can be assessed by comparing the Outcome and Target or Outcome(t1)/Target(t1).
Therefore it is compulsory to set up good indicators in planning stage. Widely used criteria is SMART which stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.
Given reliable indicators lead to greater ability managing the implementation through regularly monitoring/evaluating the indicators.
