Live Online Performance Management and Public Service Delivery Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
Citizens judge government by the services they receive, and agencies that cannot show results face shrinking budgets and falling trust. You begin with the logic of results-based management in public institutions, including performance contracting, service charters and the difference between outputs, outcomes and impact. Measurement sessions cover designing SMART indicators, setting baselines and targets, collecting reliable data and building simple dashboards that managers actually use. The middle of the week links performance to strategic plans, annual work plans and programme-based budgeting so that resources follow priorities.
You then apply tools for improving delivery, such as process mapping, citizen feedback surveys, published service standards and rapid results initiatives. The final day addresses performance culture: appraisal, recognition, accountability for underperformance and keeping improvements alive after leadership changes. Exercises draw on case material from ministries, county governments and state corporations. Accounting officers, planning and M&E officers, departmental heads and performance contract coordinators form the main audience. Each participant drafts an indicator framework and an improvement plan for one service their own unit provides to the public.
