The main logics of the analisys was to apply new logics for outputs and results to demonstrate their direct contribution to priority objective
Applying new COM approach
Applying new COM approach
The main tasks done: 1)Discussion on the definition of objective: it was actually not one but two objectives
2)Spliting objectives of priority according to the expected results : do the results lead directly to whole objective? No. It was necessary to divide existing priority into 3 priorities according to the aims of existing activities
3)Definition of new results leading to objective: 3 new results
4)Distinguishing between outputs and results
5)Analisys of data needed! Recollection of data is problematic. Additional source – database of State revenue Service is neede to be used – since more specific data on performance of the companies is needed (e.g. information on turnover. Information has to be publically available, simple

Lessons learned and issues discussed
• Exercise as a good start for changing approach in order to set appropriate result and output indicators in next planning period
• Possibility to re – evaluate current systemic approach
• The new approach suggests more focused priorities so that the specific result could be determined and measured
12
• Re – thinking the design of priority axis led to dividing the current priority axis into 3 seperate priorities
• Relevant data sources and approach to obtaining data is of great importance which needs sufficient consideration
• The planned change and availability of data shall be considered when re – defining result indicators
• Sufficient consideration and analysis when determining targets
