It is a planned and managed process


• Competition aspect of karate within KO• Establishing HP target groups • Definition of Long and Short term goals for HP karate• Definition of Benchmarks for HP sport karate in Ontario• Establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI)• Definition of the budgets needed for the particular HP

Performance Calculation - example

• Each tournament selected for the HP group will be ranked…A, B, C or D in terms of difficulty in winning (Example: Worlds ranked A , US Open ranked B and KaOn tournament is ranked D)

• Each rank will be quantified by a Factor of Difficulty (Example: ‘A’ Rank tournaments will have Factor difficulty 10, ‘B’ Rank 5 and ‘C’ Rank 3 and D Rank 1)

• The factor will be used to multiply the base number of points earned at the tournament

• Need to determine the Base number of Points for each place (Example: Gold 50 points, Silver 25 points, Bronze 12.5 points, 5-8 place 5 points).

• Base numbers are different for each HP group


Funding Plan

• The funding of the athletes will be driven by performance (points)

• HP program will be funded from: Karate Ontario, Q4G, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport, Trillium, Business sponsorships, Family, Club fundraising

• Annual HP budget is expected to grow from $20,000 in 2013 to $50,000 after 2015


Establishing Provincial Benchmarking system

• Provides realistic and achievable targets • Creates an atmosphere conducive to continuous

improvement (Kai Zen)• Allows athletes to visualize the improvement, which can

be a strong motivator for further improvements • Creates a sense of urgency for improvement • Provides transparent measurement showing that there is

a need for change • Helps to identify weak areas and indicates what needs to

be done to improve• KO will establish benchmarks for the HP Groups in 2013
