Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) has become a central theme across all departments and agencies in the Canadian government. The development of performance measurement frameworks and strategies to support IPR has also become a top priority. Now well entrenched in central agency policies, directives and guidelines, this growing awareness for the need of an enhanced performance management environment supports all aspects of program and policy development, implementation and delivery, management, and evaluation. Performance is no longer limited to developing indicators to report on plans or programs; it covers all facets of sound management practices including governance, risk management, project management, financial management, resource & asset management, and internal services such as HR or IM/IT management in an integrated fashion.

This session will explain how an integrated performance management philosophy supports all facets of organizational management. It will begin with an overview on how various management perspectives can and should be aligned.

The Chair of the Integrated Performance Management Interdepartmental Working Group will close this session by presenting the scope of this working group and presenting an update to the interdepartmental workplan, aimed at improving the integration of performance in management practices.

Mike Haley, President, Landmark Decisions Inc.
