An outcome-based dynamic performance management approach to collaborative governance in crime control: insights from Malaysia
2019
The paper analyzes Malaysia’s experience in crime control. It offers insights on how a whole-of-government perspective, underpinned by a dynamic outcome-based performance management system, or DPM, supports governments in bringing about progress in crime reduction. Although not exhaustive of all factors contributing to crime control, the paper argues that DPM can make collaboration in designing and implementing policies for crime control more effective, by enabling policy-makers frame causal links between strategic resources, performance drivers and outcomes. The feedback-loops underlying the crime-control system’s behavior should be governed in a way that enables policy-makers to build up …
Building a State’s Global Competitive Advantage by Improving Its Finances: A System Dynamic Model Tailored for the Italian State
2014
The present study analyzes and tests a new way to recover economy and public finances in time of crisis. An exclusive focus on State financial short-term stability risks to undermine the economic growth and to erode the social environment, thus it depletes the sources of State finances on the long-term. While a sustainable strategizing focuses on performance drivers that generate these last. Such approach in public strategizing is based on the assumption that State could increase its budgets by improving the organizational and legal framework in which private firms operate, in order to reduce their overhead costs for compliance of rules, and public facilities’ inefficiencies. This improveme…

From Rhetoric to Practice: The Case of Spanish Local Government Reforms
2013
This paper aims to explore what performance management tools are implemented in practice in Spanish local governments and whether they have led to an improvement in public management and accountability. We also analyse the usefulness of performance reporting, comparing it with that of accrual financial reporting. The results show that most of the entities that have introduced performance indicators do not use them for decision-making or accountability. After two decades of reforms in financial and management systems, financial directors still consider that budgetary reporting is the most useful, basically because the control of expenditure is still based on the budget.

Ho trovato i contenuti e lo stile espositivo della lectio magistralis del Ministro On. Prof. Brunetta molto gradevoli alla lettura e stimolanti verso numerose ri!essioni, specialmente in funzione del ruolo assunto da variabili quali: tempo, cultura, istituzioni, leadership, metodi e capacità professionali, nei processi di cambiamento dei sistemi sottostanti alla generazione di valore pubblico. Queste variabili assumono un ruolo essenziale nelle s"de che specialmente oggi l’attuazione del “piano di ripresa e resilienza” pone per avviare percorsi sostenibili di transizione ecologica e digitale alimentati da un cambiamento che pervada longitudinalmente società e istituzioni, partendo dai siste…
