Help Shape the 2018 Prosperity Index

Shaping the next South Island Prosperity Index

In November 2017, the South Island Prosperity Project launched the first-ever "South Island Prosperity Index". The purpose of this index is to provide our regional stakeholders a standardized (using ISO 37120 data-set) annual report on the health of the economy across five theme areas. In addition to an international standard, the Index includes local contextual indicators that provide us both depth and context needed for decision-making. This is where you come in: help us shape the contextual indicators to ensure that year-after-year, we have a compelling narrative from which to make decision, correct our course, and work towards the future that we want for our region.

It may be helpful to review the 2017 Index before proceeding (the presentation, eight-page description and supporting data are all here: http://www.southislandprosperity.ca/about/)

The first four (4) questions require at least one answer and the remaining questions are optional.

Thank-you for helping us improve the Prosperity Index!
