"Case Study 4: U.K. Strategic Assessment"
Author: Slater, Victor, with contributions from Christopher Hedley, John Rushforth, and Jim Whelan
Published In: Strategic Assessment Model, The, second edition
Date: 2001

Strategic assessement began in the U.K. in the 1970s when a group of canny Scotsmen agreed that "what cannot be measured cannot be managed."  In the 1980s, the Association of University Directors of Estates developed performance indicators.  In 1997, the Higher Education Councils for England, Scotland, and Wales initiated the Estate Management Statistics Project, which the authors detail.  Its driving force was the need to develop a standard set of definitions for the data items collected which could be compared and used to make productive and effective improvements. Figures cover project outline, data matrix, results, procedures, and executive summary.
