Municipality Performance Management (MPM) Service
As we all know budgets continue to increase. And, it's often not very clear how planned
improvements will be measured and reported related to the requested funds. Managers and
executives generally lack the information to make difficult choices between competing needs and to
evaluate improvements in different areas. Officials are also limited in gaining federal and state
allocations and grants because they are not able to relate the money spent to the success in
meeting relevant national standards.
Performance and measurement tracking is a partial answer. We believe, however, it's more important
to have a common set of related measures implemented across all related constituents that enable
your organization to integrate results against local objectives as well as relevant broader objectives
where and when appropriate. A set of related measures allow cities and municipalities to gain
savings by improving integration, efficiency and effectiveness.
Description
The Municipality Performance Management (MPM) offering encompasses a set of Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) and performance metrics that spans all areas for municipalities and forms the heart
of a performance management program. This proven "toolkit" encompasses the definition and
documentation of performance metrics/KPIs for all city divisions and agencies.
MPM is based on practical experience gathered through many implementations that included building
hundreds of balanced scorecards, working with thousands of pages of government requirements,
interfacing with numerous systems and conversion of existing reports, and conducting numerous
work sessions with hundreds of members of the staffs in all areas of local government.
MPM can also be customized in MS Excel or imported to your "tool" of choice.
