Performance Leadership: 11 Better Practices that can Ratchet Up
Performance
- "Listening
to the Public: Adding the Voices of the People to
Government Performance Measurement and Reporting"- This
new book is the result of ten year's work of the Fund for the City
of New York's Center on Municipal Government Performance,
systematically listening to people from many neighborhoods, income
levels, ethnicities and generations tell what criteria they use to
evaluate local government's effectiveness. Written by Fund Vice
President Barbara Cohn Berman, the book quotes extensively from a
series of focus groups in which New Yorkers spoke candidly and
insightfully about how well government delivers its services, from
their perspective. The research led to the formulation of new
measures of local government performance and suggestions for
information people say they need from government in general and for
21 different service areas. People in other U.S. cities and abroad
are finding the research relevant to their governments and their
locales.

Office of Performance
Evaluations - Idaho State Legislature
This office issued a
report in December 2004, on Idaho's performance measurement system. After the release
of the report, a piece of legislation was drafted based on
their recommendations contained in the report. On April 12,
2005, the Governor signed that legislation into
law.
Effective July 1, this legislation
will replace the 13-year old existing law for collecting and
reporting performance information by state agencies, and start
a new process for state agencies. The key component of the
new process is the legislative involvement with the
performance measurement process. If you have any questions
about this endeavor, please contact Rakesh Mohan -
