2.5 How the Public Sector Scorecard works?

4. Think STRATEGY: Re-examine the organisation's strategy, vision, values, mission etc, and ensuring that they are focussed on the needs of service users and other key stakeholders.
5. Think RISK: Identify, with the reference group and others as necessary, the main risks to the service under each of the five perspectives and how they might be managed.
6. Think PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Identify appropriate performance measures for each objective within the five perspectives of the strategy map. The outputs of stage 3 will also be useful here. Make it clear to participants that this is just an initial attempt at this which will be refined later.
7. Think PROCESS: Identify the main processes involved in delivering the service and look at them in turn.
8. Think CULTURE and PEOPLE: While looking at processes, discuss how the culture of the organisation, its staff and partners affect the process and how this too can be

    Background: Previous Program Evaluation Paths The Clinton Administration acknowledged that agencies and departments were inefficient and lacked oversight of outcomes. The administration consequently passed the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GRPA 93), giving government officials a tool to begin to properly manage outcome assessment of programs. The Act called for all federal agencies to develop five-year strategic plans with long-term goals. The agencies had to submit annual plans to Congress with upcoming goals and reports of past progress. GRPA 93 laid solid groundwork for government agencies to focus on outcomes of activities rather than the activities and provided excellent tools for the administration to use.…

    Critique of the Performance Management Process The Performance Management System (PMS) has defined steps that make up a Performance Management Process (PMP), represented by six important stages. To be effective, it is necessary for alignment of the PMS with an organization’s vision, mission, and strategic goals, and perhaps most important, includes full participation from management at each step in a PMP. The steps or components in the PMP interconnect, whereby if a step fails to meet the intended purpose, the system as a whole suffers negative repercussions. Two related and interconnected components of the PMP outlined, are in the beginning stages of the process, prerequisites, and performance planning.…
