Brevi notazioni sul sistema di valutazione dei dirigenti pubblici
2021
In the regulatory evolution on the evaluation of public management, it is possible to grasp a 'paradigm shift', which, if we applied the considerations of Thomas S. Kuhn, would allow us to say that we are facing an epochal turning point, a revolution in fact . With this we want to underline the change in perspective that characterizes the reform intervention that took place with the d. lgs. 150 of 2009.
Using System Dynamics to Assess a Web 2.0 Governance Model for Public Service Delivery
2011
In the last decade Public Administrations (PA) have introduced new governance models to design, implement and deliver public services to citizens. Such models have been also driven by the New Public Management (NPM) movement, which contributed to increase the pressure on PA, of both central governments and communities, to design more citizen-centric oriented services aimed to improve PA outcomes, efficiency and accountability. A key-lever on which PA can act on to reach the above goals is the use of WEB 2.0 technologies, which can enhance a fruitful collaboration between citizens and PA, not only in an ex-post analysis, but also, and in particular, in an ex-ante phase, letting the final use…
The Reform and Innovation as Rhetoric and Method
2018
We start from an observation from a well-known Swedish organisational analyst, Nils Brunsson, which reads like irony but feels like reality: the only guaranteed outcome of (organisational) reform is the next reform. What Brunsson calls ‘the reform of reform’ will be – all too – familiar to many readers, particularly those working in the public sector. Given repeated exposure to permanent reorganization – brought in under the mantel of reform and innovation – it is tempting to ascribe this permanent revolution to one or both of two causes: the failure of previous reform attempts and/or the need of senior managers to demonstrate their ‘transformative’ effects upon their organization in order …

Abstract Public Service Platforms (PSPs) are a new type of technology platform. They are based in the philosophy of New Public Management (NPM) and support public services for citizens in quasi-markets. This article increases our understanding of the business models behind these PSPs in terms of their Value Propositions, structures, networks, and financing. We interviewed representatives from 14 PSP providers in four public sectors in Sweden: education, healthcare, elder care, and public pensions. We identified a “Traditional view” with its focus on public agencies and neutral information and an “Emerging view” that includes dialogues, user evaluations, long-term perspectives on choice, pro…
Linking teacher formative assessment with professional development: Comparative study of Latvia, Finland and California

Promocijas darbā veikta fenomenoloģiska analīze par praksēm un to pieredzēm saistībā ar skolotāju formatīvo vērtēšanu un tās iespējamo saikni ar profesionālo pilnveidi Latvijā, Somijā un Kalifornijā, ASV. Šīs pieredzes un prakses fenomenoloģiskā analīze ir balstīta uz starpnozaru atziņām, kas gūtas no organizāciju attīstības literatūras un izglītības zinātniskās literatūras. Tiek piedāvāti teorētiski modeļi, lai analizētu pastāvošo organizāciju attīstības praksi, ņemot vērā nepieciešamību sasaistīt skolotāju vērtēšanu ar profesionālo pilnveidi.

Enhancing Collaborative Governance to Build Active Citizenship through Social Inclusion in Historical Neighborhood Regeneration: A Dynamic Performanc…
2021
Active citizenship and collaborative governance can be supported to enhance urban regeneration and social inclusion through Dynamic Performance Governance (DPG). The problem of urban decay and urban decline is identified as the main problem that continues to affect cities and urban areas. The study focuses on the urban regeneration experience of the historic urban neighborhood of Ballaro which is located in the historic city of Palermo. Urban regeneration is essential for transforming urban neighborhoods which are at risk of decline and blight. However, the lack of a social aspect such as social inclusion through active citizenship was identified to affect the sustainability of urban regene…
El personal directivo público a la luz de la última reforma de la administración pública italiana y tras la sentencia n. 251/2016 del Tribunal Consti…
2016
<p>Las normas contenidas en la Ley n. 124/2015 (“Reforma Madia”) abren un nuevo período de reformas del empleo público italiano, según los (proclamados) principios de simplificación, flexibilidad y unidad. Las previsiones concernientes al personal directivo público contenidas en el art. 11 de la citada Ley y en el esquema de decreto legislativo aprobado el 26 agosto de 2016 suscitan especial interés. Entre ellas, destacan las relativas a la unificación de los “ruoli dirigenziali” y a la abolición de las “due fasce”; no sólo por su alcance innovador, sino también por las conexas consecuencias que de ellas derivan y que se reflejan tanto en las modalidades de selección de dicho colectiv…

Professional Talk: Unpacking Professional Language
2020
Modern welfare states have increasingly been infused by principles from New Public Management. The implicit managerialism and standardization of these principles reduces the autonomy of professionals and displaces their discretionary power, replacing it with a standardized professional language that reproduces and reinforces specific narratives of knowledge. This chapter explores why and how we can reconnect the intimacy between word and experience by unpacking professional language. I address the following questions: What are the challenges of interviewing professionals? What is there to discover in the unpacking of professional language? And how do we unpack professional words, discourse …
