Riassunto

What Works showcases more than 70 real-world examples of local governments applying performance measurement to Improve service delivery, Inform management and policy decisions, Manage day-to-day operations more effectively in increasingly resource-constrained environments.

The book demonstrates ICMA's commitment to the continuous learning model of performance measurement, which promotes performance measurement as a tool for evaluating performance, setting improvement targets, and finding proven methods for doing better.

ICMA's executive director, Bob O'Neill, posits that there is a performance dividend enjoyed by communities that employ a professional manager. The ICMA Center for Performance MeasurementÖ extends this notion by suggesting that there is also a performance dividend to be derived by communities that engage in performance measurementûand What Works shows how they do it.
