Community Indicators for Your Community

Real, lasting community change is built around knowing where you are, where you want to be, and whether your efforts are making a difference. Indicators are a necessary ingredient for sustainable change. And the process of selecting community indicators -- who chooses, how they choose, what they choose -- is as important as the data you select.

This is an archive of thoughts I had about indicators and the community indicators movement. Some of the thinking is outdated, and many of the links may have broken over time.

Community Indicators in Londrina, Brazil

I'm spending thisweek in Londrina, Brazil as a follow-up to earlier conversations and visits about effective community indicators. When I return, I'll share something of the dialogue and exciting work happening in this area.

What's really interesting to me is the continued validation of the efficacy of community indicator systems in created desired community change. There's something about the process that transcends culture and geography (though some of the discussions we've had about different perspectives on community governance and civic engagement in different countries show that location/culture/history does matter in the design/implementation of the indicators system and the model of change built around it.)

As the GAO continues its efforts to document the state of indicators systems in the United States and to support the development of a Key National Indicators system, this message of the universal importance of broadly-available community-informed public data systems for decision-making and action is an important one to recognize.

Anyway, those are the kinds of things I'm thinking about right now. A full report comes later.

    Did you hear there's a 12 word phrase you can say to your partner... that will trigger intense emotions of love and impulsive attraction to you buried within his heart?

    Because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, treasure and look after you with his entire heart...

    12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will drive him to try harder than ever before to make your relationship the best part of both of your lives.

    As a matter of fact, fueling this dominant instinct is so essential to achieving the best ever relationship with your man that the second you send your man a "Secret Signal"...
