Performance Reporting and Mapping | Examples
Many of the examples above are based on our InstantAtlas Area Profile Template. It provides a cross-sectional view across a defined set of Performance Indicators (PIs) allowing users to select an area of interest and view the performance profile for the area. It uses graphical presentation techniques recommended by data visualization experts working in the area of performance dashboards. The template is highly flexible in terms of presentation styles and can be tailored for different requirements and audiences. You can include targets and benchmarks specific to particular areas allowing you to monitor progress depending upon local circumstances.
NHS Community Health Profiles, England (Live) |
Home Office Crime Figures, England& Wales (Live) |
|
|
|
Scale: National (England) Purpose: Health Profiles provide a snapshot of health for each local council in England using a set of key health indicators, which enables comparison locally, regionally and over time. InstantAtlas Template: Area Profile / Performance Results Configuration |
Scale: National (England& Wales) Purpose: To provide a national, annually updated report of recorded crime patterns and trends for England and Wales aimed at external users like citizens, community groups and journalists. InstantAtlas Template: Single Map |
Norfolk Wards: Spatial Performance Dashboard (Demo) |
Monitoring impact of 2012 Games: London Boroughs Demo (Demo) |
|
|
|
Scale: Local Purpose: To provide a internal 'performance profile' report of a key set of performance outcomes against baselines and targets. Ability to set targets, monitor progress and understand spatial and temporal variation at small area level. InstantAtlas Template: Performance Analysis |
Scale: Regional / Metropolitan City Purpose: To provide a 'performance profile' report of 2012 Olympic KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for London Boroughs to show variations and highlight trends. InstantAtlas Template: Performance Analysis |
NIS Scorecard for a Local Authority (Demo) |
East of England Regional Assembly, Annual Monitoring Report (Live) |
|
|
|
Scale: Local Purpose: To demonstrate the flexibility of the Performance Analysis template to present data for a single geographic area. Currently in many cases performance data is not available at geographically disaggregated areas (although this is changing). This interactive report presents a subset of the England NIS (National Indicator Set) deemed to be high priority by a local authority allowing internal managers to monitor progress easily and visually. InstantAtlas Template: Performance Analysis |
Scale: Regional Purpose: An interactive, online performance monitoring tool to complement the static annual Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). The tool delivers a large volume of time series data for the region presented on a single page to highlight progress at a local authority level towards the performance objectives set out in the Regional Spatial Strategy.

Yorkshire& Humber - Progress in the Region (Live) |
Cambridgeshire County Council, Place Survey Atlas 2008 |
|
|
|
Scale: Regional Purpose: An interactive, online performance monitoring tool to complement the static annual 'Progress in the Region' report. This takes a set of key performance indicators and tracks them on an annual basis. This report, made available online, presents all the data visually on one page allowing users to explore it easily themselves. InstantAtlas Template: Single Map |
Scale: Local Purpose: The Cambridgeshire atlas shows Place Survey data at a ward level across the county. It includes all 18 of the national indicators measured in the Place Survey. The survey results helped identify which services citizens felt were performing well and those that needed improvement, as well as the priorities for the services that are being provided.

Cornwall - public reporting of crime (Live) | Performance of local authorities, England (Demo) |
|
|
|
Scale: Local Purpose: To provide a profile report of multiple types of recorded crime to show patterns and trends for all wards in Cornwall. It is aimed at staff within the local crime reduction partnership and external citizens. InstantAtlas Template: Area Profile Alternative demo versions:
(1) Profile + larger map or
(2) Large Map |
Scale: National Purpose: To demonstrate the interactive presentation of audited performance results for top tier English local authorities. The 'traffic-light' RAG map presents Audit Commission's latest results of their Comprehensive Performance Assessment (2005 to 2008). InstantAtlas Template:Single Map |
Links to Area Profiling
The production of area-specific 'profile' reports, a process known as area profiling, has considerable overlap with this type of performance reporting. Area profile reports generally offer a broader intelligence context to performance while performance reports tend to focus specifically on a defined set of PIs showing progress against baselines and targets. Certainly in the UK the shift away from monitoring organisational inputs and outputs towards a focus on outcomes has brought these two reporting functions closer together. Performance profiles now share a great deal in common with area profiles.
