• Qualitative: formal and informal surveys (often on exit from an engagement) of new or retained employees and employers, and/or the community at large. Measurable Outcomes: . The list above in fact constitutes the measurable outcomes. Timeline (Month/Year): April-May 2013 Obiective 6: Identify key steps toward successful implementation of priority actions. Procedures/Activities: Essergy Is familiar with the required background and economic analysis, the assessment of economic challenges and opportunities from the private and public sectors, and the method of defining goals and objectives, delineating projects, and creating plans of action with measurable outcomes. These have been enumerated in addressing Objectives 4 1-5. In addition, Essergy will evaluate: • Competition. Competition may be considerable, because the City of Santa Ana has several qualified surrounding cities and municipalities that are considered within it's region of influence. In many ways, the situation is similar to the Orange County CEDS that Essergy helped rewrite. That is one reason Essergy has offered the alternate strategy below. • Unknowns to be addressed. The largest unknowns in creating a strategic workforce development/economic development plan acceptable to State of California are: • How to assemble a Workforce Strategy Plan that meets required State standards. We believe our understanding of those standards and the system of point awards Is appropriate. However, we will work with Santa Ana economic development staff to clarify them. • How to make the Workforce Development Plan optimally effective and efficient. Part of this challenge is to have a solid methodology. See Essergy's approach in the prior Objectives. Measurable Outcomes: The critical outcome is the procedures outlined in the objective above, including the gathering and analysis of the data, the application of appropriate theoretical structures, and creation of a visionary yet practical plan that meets Santa Ana and California standards, and that has timelines and resources attached.
