Investment Planning for Smart Region and Smart Cities

Bringing the power of analytics to drive regional strategy development, planning, collaboration, and progress measurement

Envisioning Outcomes of

Investments

• Begin with the end in mind.

• Analytics framework provides a flexible,

and comprehensive means for establishing

targets and evaluating options for achieving desired outcomes.

• Metrics provide the means to define and measure outcomes.

• Regional goals can be developed based on combination of underlying individual

communities.

• Different “lenses” can be configured to enable particular areas of emphasis to be

evaluated and lenses combined to see overall targets and project outcomes.

Courses of Action

• Evaluate options to meet goals – building portfolios of projects and programs.

• Define expected outcomes across goals over time based on the contributions of

projects and programs.

• Identify key stakeholders, potential sources of funding.

• Apply/leverage domain expertise for both conventional and emerging technologies;

assure that projects provide both the muscle and flexibility needed to adapt to and

succeed in fast-evolving technology and citizen landscapes.

• Consider Short-, Middle-, and Long-term needs and costs; assure that the overall

roadmap appropriately addresses the balance.

• Iteration and introspection of alternative courses of action instill community

involvement and participation; providing feedback to best address difficult

circumstances.

Measuring Progress

• Projected outcomes can be

measured against actuals.

Sources of variance can be

evaluated both in terms of timing

and magnitude.

• Plans can evolve and be

reshaped based on changing

circumstances and priorities.

• Detailed tracking/progress

reporting possible for all targets

and associated projects.
