The Snyder process encourages and enables improvement almost from the outset. As people come to understand the process of their work better, they change their behaviour to reflect that improved understanding. The outcome evaluation uses the understanding from the process evaluation to identify performance indicators. These can be used to provide an outcome evaluation, and to set up the feedback systems for ongoing monitoring and improvement. In practice this is done by taking the important elements of the vision in turn.
Indicators typically contain a mix of qualitative and quantitative measures.
Desirably, the package of indicators can be viewed as an appropriate sample of the important elements of the vision, and to be drawn primarily from resources, intended immediate effects, and unintended immediate effects. The short-cycle evaluation then seeks to create systems to allow feedback of results and monitoring of effectiveness. These are intended, I think, to describe the function rather than the process used. I've chosen terms which are more descriptive of the process used. Bob Dick 1997-1999.
