Summary
This report is a companion piece to the project’s overall final report (Willis, Homel & Anderson 2010) and covers the following important implementation issues: why we need a DLE performance measurement framework (including the limitations of traditional measures of DLE and the benefits of more robust measures); who is responsible for DLE performance measurement; major steps to developing a sound measurement framework; how long it will take to implement the framework; resourcing; change management issues; future evaluation of the framework; and key challenges for national implementation.
