Performance Management in the Public Sector

By: Wouter Van Dooren,Geert Bouckaert,John Halligan

In times of rising expectations and decreasing resources for the public sector, performance management is high on the agenda. Increasingly, the value of the performance management systems themselves is under scrutiny, with more attention being paid to the effectiveness of performance management in practice. This new edition has been revised and updated to examine: performance in the context of current public management debates, including emerging discussions on the New Public Governance and neo-Weberianism; the many definitions of performance and how it has become one of the most contested agendas of public management; the so-called perverse effects of using performance indicators; the technicalities of performance measurement in a five step process: prioritising measurement, indicator development, data collection, analysis and reporting; and the future challenges and directions of performance management Performance Management in the Public Sector 2nd edition offers an approachable insight into a complex theme for practitioners and public management students alike.

Ecosystem Services

Chapter 4. Ecosystem Service Indicators: Are We Measuring What We Want to Manage?

By: Wouter Van Reeth

Over the past decade policy makers and other stakeholders have increasingly recognized that ecosystems are capital assets that, if properly managed, can yield valuable flows of services. Ecosystem conservation and restoration to safeguard or increase the performance of ecosystems in yielding such services has become an explicit objective at multiple levels of governance. Ecosystem performance is thus connected with planning processes, policy programs, instruments, and budgets. International study projects such as the MA and TEEB have advocated the development of ecosystem service indicators to better inform this policy cycle. This chapter proposes a systems approach to define indicators for ecosystem performance in a policy context (). The approach is applied to collect and assess a set of 152 indicators that were recently developed for the Flemish government (). In we derive recommendations for the development and use of indicators in a policy and political context.
