Concluding Analysis

Instructions

(do not include in the final report
):

For each chart, the
analysis should focus on the patterns and the implications as they linked to the warning trends and indicator description and warning trends of each indicator. /that is, the Concluding analysis should
analyze each of the charts

Compare the data to the warning trends and indicator descriptions.

1. How does the data for each indicator compare to the warning trend and indicator description? (Did it decrease? If not, then it’s not a warning trend. If it stays the same, it’s okay. If it increased, it’s probably in pretty good shape.)

2. How does the data for each of the 4 indicators compare to the other 3 indicators? (How did the Public Safety trend compare with the data chart from Parks and Recreation, Senior Services & Planning and Permits? How did the Parks and Recreation trend compare to Public Safety, Senior Services & Planning and Permits etc…do this for all 4 )

3. Your analysis then should explain why what occurred, occurred and its implications. Should the organization be concerned? Can it be corrected? How? (You need to explore the internet for information and include those sources on the references page)
