Performance Management

Two possible dates:
21-23 June 2012 (Convener: Prof. Dr. Wouter van Dooren)
29 Nov-1 Dec 2012 (Convener: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hammerschmid)

Performance management and new forms of steering to improve efficiency and effectiveness in public sector organisations have been at the heart of many administrative modernisation programmes throughout the last two decades, albeit often with only moderate success. The seminar provides an insight into the main concept, as well as the practice of performance management in Europe. Participants discuss potentials, challenges and limitations of performance management approaches as well as lessons learned with regard to a successful implementation. This allows the participants to develop awareness, knowledge and skills in performance management and performance improvement methods, and their successful application within their own working environment.
