Outcome Based Performance Models
Sir Peter Gershon’s review of government expenditure identified the potential for efficiency savings of £21 billion over the next 4 years.
The reduction of potentially 80,000 civil service jobs will not happen without the radical re-engineering of much of what government does and more particularly how it does it. The efficiency savings will only arrive from a clear understanding of what is trying to be achieved. Performance measures, which focus on these outcomes and not on the process, which is the current pre-occupation, will break the cycle and allow organisations to increase productivity dramatically.
The main experience of pbas is in the areas of economic regeneration through business growth; however, the principles are applicable across the whole of government. pbas has developed a specialism in the understanding and the use of gross value added and where it is appropriate to use as a performance measure.
The process is simple in concept: -
- Monitoring Measures
- Actual Achievement (Evaluation)
