Advisory Commission Releases Performance Management Report

The National Performance Management Advisory Commission recently released its final report, A Performance Management Framework for State and Local Government: From Measurement and Reporting and Management and Improving.

This commission was a joint initiative of the Association of School Business Officials International, National Association of State Budget Officers; Council of State Governments; Government Finance Officers Association; International City/County Management Association; National Association of Counties; National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers; National Conference of State Legislatures; National League of Cities; and United States Conference of Mayors. It was formed to create a national principles-based framework for public sector performance measurement and management, including voluntary guidelines that:

  • identify general approaches and practices that are characteristic of successful performance measurement and management,
  • emphasize the value of evidence-based and data-driven decision making in effectively delivering government services,
  • support state and local government implementation of performance measurement systems,
  • reflect the issues and challenges associated with development and implementation of performance management systems from a broad range of perspectives, including elected and appointed officials, and program and operational managers, and
  • provide a flexible framework that is adaptable to the unique and diverse environments of state and local governments.
