Results

Best practice example: education pipelineData National leader in regional indicators producing biennial reports for civic vitality, arts, economy, education, environment, housing, safety and transportation.Actionable knowledge Because education impacts so many other desired outcomes, the Boston Indicators Project produced (on request) a special closer-look report, Boston’s Education Pipeline: A Report Card.Coordinated action The Pipeline report inspired groups of community leaders to create support for an additional $27 million for early childhood through post-secondary, and to hold themselves accountable to the results tracked by Pipeline report.


Best practice example: retaining talent

Data Longest running regional data report in the nationActionable knowledge A topic is picked from each report for further study and strategy recommendations. In 2006, this lead to report: Retaining Talent: People and Jobs for the 21st Century.Coordinated action Implementation groups advocate for two years; JCCI tracks progress and reports that each of the three main recommendations from Retaining Talent were implemented.
