Most federal government organizations are experiencing at least some difficulty in reconciling the various methodologies and frameworks that have been introduced by central agencies and the consulting community in the past decade.
In this two day workshop, participants will be led through a practical step-by-step approach to linking the Program Activity Architecture (PAA)/Management, Resources and Results Structure (MRRS), The Management Accountability Framework (MAF), integrated human resources and operational planning and other management frameworks and approaches. The workshop will provide participants with practical tools and techniques for linking PAA and MAF in a truly integrated way and for developing integrated performance stories and presenting financial and non-financial information at different levels and across different dimensions/perspectives .
You will also learn how to improve your organization's management of two components of program delivery, the Sustaining Agenda - representing your ongoing or day to day operations - and the Change Agenda - representing your strategy and "intervention initiatives" for transforming your operations.
You will leave the workshop with practical tools and techniques for:
- Linking the PAA and MAF in a truly integrated way;
- Developing leading indicators for your PAA and MAF;
- Costing your PAA;
- Mapping your Sustaining and Change Agendas; and
- Monitoring the impacts of your strategy.
The workshop will end with each participant having the capability to build an integrated management environment (IME) with four components (foundations, architectures/models/maps, enabling frameworks, accountability instruments) and a planning and reporting cycle that integrates: the PAA and MAF, strategic and business plans and performance management agreements; ongoing commitments (Sustaining Agenda) and key commitments (Change Agenda); and performance measurement and risk management.
