The five measurement activities
Commit, design, implement, oversee, action
The measurement framework is run as five activities, not as a one-off exercise. Each leaves a different artefact, and the artefact is what an evaluator or an auditor reads.
All five
| Code | Activity | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 5.3.1 | Commit | The governing body establishes that the evaluation will happen, at what interval, with what authority and with what resources. |
| 5.3.2 | Design | The evaluation is designed before it is run: scope, time frame, objectives, dimensions, instrument and evidence level. |
| 5.3.3 | Implement | The evaluation is carried out against the design, with the evidence collected and the ratings recorded per dimension and aspect. |
| 5.3.4 | Oversee | The governing body monitors the evaluation as it runs and acts where the design is not being followed or the result is drifting. |
| 5.3.5 | Action | The results are reviewed, improvements are planned and prioritised, and the result is reported. |
Why the sequence matters
An evaluation that starts with fieldwork and looks for a mandate afterwards is the common failure. Commitment comes first because it gives the exercise its authority and its resources. Design comes next because the instrument and the aggregation rule must be fixed before the ratings. Implementation then produces evidence rather than opinion. Oversight is the governing body's own check on quality, and action is what turns a report into improvement.
In a group, each activity needs a named owner at group level and a route into each controlled entity. The activity pages say what to keep and who owns it.
