When integrating the Community On Demand Leadership Development framework to evaluate the impact of Skills Self Assessments and The Stakeholder's Dilemma Canvas Model, using the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be crucial. These KPIs help measure individual skill growth, team collaboration, community impact, and the overall success of the Community On Demand digital leadership framework you create for your organization.
Below, we explore some of the key KPIs that can be used for assessing both individual development and collaborative achievements.
Skills Self Assessments KPIs
1. Skill Improvement Rate
This KPI tracks the percentage of skills that showed improvement from the baseline assessment to the follow-up assessment. It provides a clear measure of individual growth and helps indicate how effectively learning activities are contributing to the overall skill development of participants.
2. Completion Rate of Skill Assessments
Measuring the percentage of participants who complete their skill assessments from start to finish offers insight into participant engagement and buy-in. High completion rates suggest that participants are engaged, which is critical for understanding skill levels and planning future development activities.
3. Self-Confidence Improvement
This KPI measures improvement in participants' confidence levels in their skills, typically through pre- and post-assessment surveys. It helps understand the psychological impact of skill-building activities and reflects participants’ readiness to apply their skills.
4. Average Skill Value Score
The average score achieved by participants across all skill categories can identify areas where participants may need additional focus. This KPI is particularly useful for understanding which skills may require more targeted interventions.
5. Achievement Domain Coverage
This KPI measures the percentage of achievement domains (e.g., Career Awareness, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Workforce Readiness) covered by participants. Ensuring coverage across these domains indicates well-rounded growth, which is essential for overall readiness.
6. Time to Skill Acquisition
Measuring the average time it takes for participants to acquire a specific skill to a defined competency level helps provide insights into the pace of learning. It also helps in adjusting content delivery or training pace as needed.
7. Feedback Utilization Rate
The percentage of participants who apply feedback from their skill assessments to improve their performance demonstrates how well participants are using feedback to actively work on areas for improvement.
The Stakeholder's Dilemma Canvas Model KPIs
1. Collaboration Effectiveness
This KPI measures the number of successful group interactions and problem-solving sessions during activities. Since collaboration is central to the model, assessing how well teams work together reflects the collective creativity of the group.
2. Stakeholder Engagement Rate
The percentage of stakeholders actively participating in activities and discussions indicates the value stakeholders see in these activities. Higher engagement rates show a willingness to contribute insights and resources.
3. Community Impact Score (SROI Measurement)
The Social Return on Investment (SROI) is based on the outcomes of projects derived from The Stakeholder's Dilemma. This KPI measures the tangible impact of projects on the community, which is one of the key goals of the canvas model.
4. Dilemma Resolution Rate
The percentage of challenges or dilemmas presented during sessions that are resolved with actionable plans is a measure of how effective the model is in driving real, actionable outcomes.
5. Participation Diversity
This KPI tracks the number of different skill domains represented during activities. A diverse range of skills enriches the problem-solving process and leads to more innovative solutions.
6. Role Participation Rate
The percentage of participants who take on different roles (e.g., facilitator, strategist) during sessions helps assess whether participants are stepping out of their comfort zones and developing leadership and collaboration skills.
7. Innovation Index
The number of innovative ideas or approaches generated during activities that are considered feasible for implementation measures the collective creativity of the group and their ability to generate meaningful contributions.
8. Feedback Integration
This KPI measures the percentage of group feedback that is integrated into project deliverables or plans. It demonstrates adaptability and the ability to improve solutions by incorporating constructive feedback.
9. Service Goals Achievement Rate
The percentage of service goals completed successfully during The Stakeholder's Dilemma indicates the success rate of implementing action plans, showing real progress in addressing community challenges.
Combining KPIs for Overall Effectiveness
1. Skills Utilization in Canvas Activities
This KPI measures the percentage of skills identified in the self-assessment that are actively used in The Stakeholder's Dilemma sessions. It connects skill-building to their real-world application and ensures that the skills developed are being used to address community challenges.
2. Leadership Development Rate
Measuring the percentage of participants who show leadership improvement based on their contributions during canvas activities helps assess how effectively the program is fostering community leadership.
Conclusion
These KPIs provide a well-rounded framework to evaluate individual growth, team collaboration, project success, and community impact within both the Skills Self Assessments and The Stakeholder's Dilemma Canvas Model. By tracking these indicators, you can better understand the effectiveness of your tools, highlight areas for improvement, and ultimately guide participants toward becoming impactful leaders and change agents in their communities.
