Performance Measurement and Reporting

How effectively are you measuring and communicating your performance?

Whether you’re looking at the performance of an agency as a whole or an individual branch or program, effective performance measurement and reporting needs to take place at every level of your organisation.

Our practice consists of thought leaders and experts who have helped a wide range of public sector agencies in effectively measuring and communicating their performance internally, as well as to Parliament and the community.

We can help you with:

Telling a meaningful and evidence-based performance story
Creating a performance-orientated culture, including the utilisation of performance management plans in the day-to-day management as well as strategic planning of the organisation and its operations
Adhering to the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, Resource Management Guides and ANAO requirements in a way that is relevant and practical for your organisation
Facilitating cross-agency collaboration to optimise the use and sharing of available data for citizen-centric policy outcomes
Measuring policy performance – the intangible and tricky – and the contribution of policy advice to the Department’s outcomes
Establishing simple and clear processes that assist Divisions, Branches and Business Units to effectively and efficiently complete their Business Plans without causing a significant administrative burden

And here’s how we do it:

We apply leading practice in our review, development, and application of every element of the performance measurement cycle.

Services include:
