Results Madison

Results Madison is a strategic framework intended to align city services with the outcomes that matter most to Madison residents. Through this initiative, city operations and agency data will be more transparent and accessible to policy makers and the public. 

How do we get to outcomes?

• Define a vision for success, using Imagine Madison's Elements of a Great City as a roadmap. 
• Use data to inform decision-making by identifying agency-level service indicators that tell us what we're doing and how well we're doing it. 
• Support City staff to adapt to changes in how we work and serve residents.
