Seminars & Speaking Engagements

   

Since 2000, I have offered Means, Ends, Indicators: Basics of Public Sector Performance Measurement , a one-day workshop based on his experience in working with public-sector organizations on the design of performance-measurement and reporting frameworks.

Participants say Means, Ends, Indicators cuts through the jargon of results-based management, helping them grasp and use the basic concepts.  Means, Ends, Indicators is based on the ideas found in my papers:  Not a Tool Kit. Practitioner's Guide to Measuring the Performance of Public Programs and What Will Be, Will Be. The Challenge of Applying Results-based Thinking to Policy. 

As well, I offer Getting Real about Results.  What Public Service Executives Need to Know about Results-based Management . Targeted to executives, it covers the strategic as well as the operational aspects of results-based management in the public sector.  And I offer Knowing Where You are Going.  Strategy and Performance Measurement in the Public Service.  This one-day workshop examines the meaning of "strategy" in a public service organization and traces the connection between strategy and performance measurement.

 

 

These programs are offered in association with the Institute On Governance.

The Government of Alberta and University of Alberta School of Business, Executive Education, selected me to design and deliver a 1-1/2 dayprogram on Results Orientation for Alberta government executives.  The program was launched in 2005 and is offered once a year.   I also deliver Results Orientation to executives of the government of the Northwest Territories.
