Whether measuring the nature of the economy or determining the impact of economic development programs, finding the right indicators and metrics is critical. And a new set of questions is arising for economic development practitioners: Who gets credit for impact when multiple organizations provide services to the same company? When impacts may be long-term, what is the best way to gauge success in the short term? These and other questions will be explored during the conference session on Measuring Impacts: Where We Stand and Where We Need to Go at this year’s annual SSTI conference. The session comes at a time when the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (CREC) recently released a white paper on common metrics used by economic development programs and when the World Economic Forum is seeking input on the design of its Global Competitiveness Index.
