OTP Planning Framework

Print

One of Own the Podium's core functions is managing performance through the Performance Management Framework (PMF). The following primary principals are to be followed:

  • The PMF must be an efficient mechanism for both the national sport organization and Own the Podium;
  • The PMF would be based on a four-year planning cycle;
  • The PMF would be designed with the end goal of being part of a database system to ensure a higher level of efficiency;
  • Own the Podium will work with its partners to avoid duplication of reporting processes.

Key Elements

Key elements of a Performance Management Framework for targeted NSOs will include:


  • Policy guidelines to govern the relationship between Own the Podium and its client organizations;
  • A planning model designed to support the implementation of effective high-performance programs by NSOs;
  • Podium objectives that clearly define the purpose of the funding provided to NSOs;
  • Own the Podium/NSO agreed benchmarks designed to monitor performance against desired goals for major international competitions (i.e. Olympic/Paralympic Games, World Championships, etc.);
  • Tools for high-performance advisors to evaluate the performance of a NSOs high-performance program;
  • NSO Information and Performance report designed to provide a snapshot of the current situation, and level of performance for the sport's high- performance program;
  • NSO annual review process to facilitate the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of an NSOs program as part of the decision making process for funding recommendations;
  • Database to warehouse, and manage NSO information for reporting purposes;
  • Toolkits and/or workshops will be developed to facilitate the process.
