During the past year the Branch has developed a Vision, Mission, Values and Mandate for the AEB which has been presented to EAAC.
The AEB has developed a draft Logic Model that identifies the Branch's activities, outputs, reach, immediate outcomes, intermediate outcomes and ultimate outcomes. The Logic Model will serve to support the development of the operational management framework including performance measures.
As outlined in our Logic Model, our immediate outcome of ‘Findings, recommendations and advice increasingly used in Departmental management and decision-making', leads to the following intermediate outcome:
Ultimately, this outcome contributes to the improved achievement of departmental strategic objectives and enhanced accountability to Canadians on departmental programs, expenditure management, risk management, control and governance processes. These outcomes provide the expected results for the Branch. The draft AEB Logic Model is provided in Appendix A.
The AEB performance measurement strategy is under development and will be presented again to the EAAC in June 2010. Data collection and reporting is already occurring for the majority of indicators contained in the performance measurement strategy. Work on identifying further indicators and/or data collection approaches to fill gaps in the strategy continues. As the performance measurement activity of AEB matures, decisions will need to be taken around whether the current data collection is sufficient to demonstrate the performance of AEB or further data are required. Noting that data need to be collected for the most important indicators only, it will be important to ensure that new commitments for performance measurement are realistic and will add value to decision-making.
