V converts the strategic objectives into action plans using
the APS, shown in Figure 2.2-1,
an integral element of the ILMS.
The summaries of key action plans, including the key measures/
indicators of progress, are shown in Figure 2.1-5. The action
plans are SMARTER—Specific, Measurable, Aligned, Realistic,
Time-bound, Evaluated, and Reviewed—which means that the
projections for future performance on these measures or indicators
are equivalent to the targets shown, because the targets are
established considering the projected impact of the plans. Most
of the targets are percentile rankings to incorporate key comparisons.
A function of DataFACTS is now to help project the shift in
actual performance that will equal top decile, based on historical
trends and known improvement activities in the sectors.
