Managing for Results, 2005
Author: John M. Kamensky
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742545441
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
The 'managing for results' movement that began in the early 1990s has now reached adolescence and is creating new challenges for government managers. After spending years creating planning and performance-measuring systems, managers and policy makers now need to focus on how to use performance information to make data-driven decisions. Managing Results for 2005 describes--through a series of case studies--the progress being made in federal, state, and local governments in managing for results. Part I increases our understanding about the potential use of performance information in government. It starts with a chapter on how government leaders can overcome obstacles to using performance information. Another chapter presents a comprehensive framework for tying performance to the budget process. The book provides specific examples of how performance information has been used to dramatically improve program outcomes. Part II presents case studies on the use of performance information to improve results in a range of federal agencies, in Texas state government, and in the City of Baltimore. As pioneering efforts, these examples do not all present success stories; nevertheless, the lessons learned will be instructive to public managers as the 'managing for results' movement advances toward maturity.

Improving the Odds
Author: Burt S. Barnow
Publisher: The Urban Insitute
ISBN: 9780877666899
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The labor market has changed dramatically in recent decades. In the 1980s an average of 2 million workers each year lost their jobs because of the increasingly global economy, rapid advances in technology, and corporate downsizing. During the same period, immigration increased and Congress passed welfare reform legislation that required many more Americans to join the workforce. Legislators have looked closely at federal job training programs in recent years, and in 1998 passed the two major acts mandating change. In Improving the Odds, experts on labor policy explore the effects of current programs on earnings and employment, recommend improvements in programs, and assess the methodologies used to measure their effectiveness. The editors offer several strategies to help policymakers design programs that fulfill the promise of keeping workers out of poverty. Contents: -Publicly Funded Training in a Changing Labour Market (Burt S. Barnow and Christopher T. King) -The Economic, Demographic, and Social Context of Future Employment and Training Programs (Frank Bennici, Steven Mangum, and A ndrew M. Sum) -Welfare Employment Programs: Impacts and Cost-Effectiveness of Employment and Training Activities (Lisa Plimpton and Demetra Smith Nightingale) -The Impact of Job Training Partnership Act Programs for Adult Welfare Recipients (Jodi Nudelman) -Training Success Stories for Adults and Out-of-School Youth: A Tale of Two States (Christopher T. King, with Jerome A. Olson, Leslie O. Lawson, Charles E. Trott, and John Baj) -Employment and Training Programs for Out-of-School Youth: Past Effects and Lessons for the Future (Robert I. Lerman) -Customized Training for Employers: Training People for Jobs That Exist and Employers Who Want to Hire Them (Kellie Isbell, John Trutko, and vBurt S. Barnow) -Training Programs for Dislocated Workers (Duane E. Leigh) -Methodologies for Determining the Effectiveness of Training Programs (Daniel Friedlander, David H. Greenberg, and Philip K.
