Policy Practitioners Workshop
Friday 10 December 2010
QV1 Building Theatrette
250 St Georges Tce, Perth
9:00am registration for 9:30am start to 11:30am finish
'Delivering Public Value'
with
Professor John Alford
Professor of Public Sector Management
Australia and New Zealand School of Government
Professor Alford is an expert in public sector management and leads the subject 'Delivering Public Value' in ANZSOG's Executive Master of Public Administration program which will be the focus of the workshop. The workshop will draw on the work of Professor Mark Moore from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University to: identify the intrinsic differences between the underlying purpose of the private and public sectors; and to provide a theoretical framework to help public sector managers deliver results of substantive value in complex, often contradictory and constantly shifting environments. Utilising practitioners' own knowledge and experience, the workshop will explain and explore the key concepts of public value, the authorising environment and productive capabilities, and the dynamic relationship between them captured by Moore's 'strategic triangle'.
Participant benefits
Participants will leave with greater understanding of:
* The different kinds of value created by public sector organisations for citizens and clients
* How the political environment affects organisational objectives
* How to think strategically about delivering public value
* The importance of 'alignment' in thinking and acting strategically in the public sector
