What is Government Performance Management?

In the private sector the concept of performance management is well understood. However, governments are not profit-driven and therefore the measures used to enhance corporate performance are not relevant in the public sector.

Challenges for government performance management include:

• Governments run more “lines of business” than any business
• Budgets must be tied to performance because governments run commitment accounting
• Cascading complex objectives through Ministries, Departments, Agencies (MDAs) and divisions to individual public servants is complex because there are so many staff members

Government Performance Management Starts with the Budget

Demonstrating public sector performance requires more than putting together a website. Government financial and performance management begins with the budget. Budgets are guidelines in the private sector. In government – it’s the law. Government budgets encapsulate policy, economics and objectives and results need to be traced back to objectives in the budget. This enables improved spending to achieve better results.

Government performance management is not something that can be sustained by using stand-alone software. Or software designed for the private sector. A unified approach across the budget cycle is required. This consists of transparency, back-office and metadata layers that need to be more than integrated and tightly unified to ensure proper controls and full automation.

Government performance is not just about tracking results at the end of the fiscal year. Government leaders need day-to-day access to performance information. This requires the same integration across the budget cycle used for effective transparency.
