* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 3 - Working in the Shared Space]]: Review processes are messy, a continuous feedback loop. They follow the Theory of Change statement. Clear identification (milestones), outcomes and objectives, monitoring and benchmarks are used against itself or similar efforts. Quantitative or qualitative measures are required, sometimes involving time and resource intensive collection methods. Expressing the significance of findings may involve story telling - "[[credible performance stories]]" - to make a reasonable case, summarize data, point to factors, explain scope, and easier sharing.
* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: 3.5 million Canadians have low income and are likely to remain poor for longer periods,in particular groups such as women, Aboriginal Canadians, young single people, recent immigrants and people with disabilities. Canada's income gap has grown to a 30 year high, according to a study comparing the [[Date::late 1970s]] to [[Date::early 2000s]]. [[Urban Poverty in Canada]], found a disproportionate number of poor live in metropolitan areas, and [[Poverty by Postal Code]], published in [[Date::2004]] found substantial rises in poverty in the [[Date::last 20 years]] in Toronto.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: New forms of measurement focus on broad capital assets, including the [[National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy]], [[Geniune Progress Indicators | GPI]], and [[Canadian Index of Well-Being]]. The mapping of these assets is key methodology to identify obvious and latent strengths.
