Dear Government Executive:

Performance measurement is the backbone of a successful, innovative and high-performing government organisation. Using performance measures to track past performance and forecast future outcomes is critical to success. Performance measurement helps to clarify people's responsibilities, forms a sound, logical basis upon which to allocate resources, and ensures a results-oriented focus for the entire organisation.

When you attend "Results-Based Management for Government," this May in Ottawa, you will explore and discuss best practices in managing for results and integrating performance measures and budget processes.

How Will This Conference Help You and Your Organisation?

Tying performance measures to the budget of your organisation requires efficient systems, a dedication to high-caliber performance and an understanding that measurement fuels your strategic plan. It's difficult, but well worth the effort. When your strategic efforts are aligned with your measurement processes and budget, your organisation's success in producing results your customers care about increases. Without measurement, you cannot correct mistakes you may not even know you are making. A budget integrated with performance measurement is crucial to achieving high performance and showing taxpayers what they are getting for their money.

Increasingly, the public, Parliament, Treasury Board Secretariat and the Office of the Auditor General are all calling for strengthened accountability. Results-based management is crucial to ensuring high quality services to the public and linking results to resources. Departments and agencies that have developed good results information are in a much better position to demonstrate that they are achieving value for money.

What Does This Mean For You?

• Natural Resources Canada uses integrated results-based management to ensure a high-performing organization
• The Regional Municipality of Waterloo, Ontario fosters government collaboration to define, collect and share performance information that drives successful results
• Université du Quebec a Montréal develops performance management tools to closely monitor the attainment of their outlined financial objectives
