OneKC WIRED Partners and key stakeholders are collaborating to develop a multi-industry, regional tool (initially focused on advanced manufacturing, biotechnology and healthcare) resulting in the development of a "dashboard" or scorecard that measures the region's Human Capital Index. The process will include systematic updates that will form the basis for:

• Measuring progress against goals
• Assessing changes in industry's' needs
• Cataloging education and training programs - specifically those related to the three targeted industry sectors
• Highlighting progress and best practices (via indices such as Educational Attainment)
• Identifying existing or newly discovered gaps, and developing an action plan to close new gaps
