Q16 Tell us what you think of the following as sequence of terms to link resources to actions to results: Resource; Goal; Objective; Desired outcome; Indicator; Level. Is each term as useful part of the sequence as a whole? Answered: 13 Skipped: 2 Useful Not useful I do not understand this term Total Resource 61.54% 0% 38.46% 8 0 5 13 Goal 92.31% 0% 7.69% 13 12 0 1 Objective 92.31% 0% 7.69% 13 12 0 1 Desired outcome 100% 0% 0% 13 13 0 0 Indicator 92.31% 0% 7.69% 13 12 0 1 Level 38.46% 15.38% 46.15% 13 5 2 6 # (please specify) Date 1 Goal & desired outcome be fairly similar, unless one factors more realism! "Level" is too vague without clarification. 3/12/2013 11:20 AM 2 clarify level? 3/10/2013 9:36 AM 3 not sure what level means here 3/10/2013 9:27 AM 4 Should consider defining "indicator", "resource" & "resource". What about "measures" as in "performance measures" that we are required to use as part of Wildlife T RACS. 3/7/2013 6:09 PM 5 Strategies (a way to achieve an objective) and actions (the steps to implementing a strategy)? Would that be too fine-scaled? 3/7/2013 4:12 PM 6 these terms will be useful as the definitions we apply to them and the clarity/distinctions among them. 3/7/2013 2:37 PM
