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. 

I also 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.

 

 

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.

In June 2010 I will be in Italy at the Centre for International Development, University of Bologna, where I will deliver a two-day seminar to public servants from developing countries on the basics of monitoring and evaluating development assistance projects.
