E. POSSIBLE CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING OPTIONS
There will be various options through which CITO could fulfill its key functions. Some of the possible
criteria that could be used to evaluate these options include:
� Fit with the objectives, mandate, and values of CITO. In its service plan for 2007-08, CITO
defined its mandate as providing industry leadership in training which results in the right number of
workers, with the right knowledge and skills, developed to the right standards, and available at the
right time and for the right needs. Key values include:
• Customer-focused (apprentices and employers);
• Innovative, with the fullest possible utilization of best practices and emerging technology;
• Inclusive, with due consideration given to the views of all participants in the ICI construction
sector and of the broader stakeholder community; and
• Transparent, with clear accountabilities and disclosures regarding performance measures.
� Cost-effectiveness, taking into consideration the cost of the process relative to the value of the
outputs.
� Ease of implementation.
� Level of stakeholder support as evidenced, in part, by the feedback from consultation processes
in Component 4.
� The level of risk including legal liability, organizational credibility and financial risk.
� Flexibility in terms of the ability of the function to change or evolve over time and meet the needs
of a wide range of trades and stakeholders.
� Quality of outputs generated including the ability to meet the key objectives of the functions and
the needs of the target groups.
� Consistency with good business practices, taking into consideration best practices and lessons
learned locally and in other jurisdictions.
