Practitioner’s guide to calculating the efficiency of a consultation or engagement process by John May December 2013

Introduction This guide shows how to measure the efficiency of a consultation or engagement process by calculating the “Effective Number of Issues” generated. You will need a list of the different issues that arose, and the number of times each one occurred. These slides use data from a consultation about priorities for the Mayor of Bristol to show how to calculate the Effective Number of Issues, step by step.

1. Enter your issues in the first column; 2. enter their frequency in the next; 3. and then use the third to calculate the relative frequency. Like this...

Relative frequency is frequency divided by total; e.g. 613/5196 Total of relative frequencies should equal 1 Now we need the natural logarithms...

If you’re familiar with logarithms you will be OK with this step. If not, just let Excel take the strain: insert the formula LN (D2) in cell E2 then copy down the column.

Now multiply Col. D by Col. E and total this column. Nearly done...

Take the total of Col. F, and multiply by -1, giving us in this case. Just one more thing to do...

This is the Shannon Index H’ Last step: raise e to the power H’ by using the formula exp H’. This gives you the Effective Number of Issues.
