NextGen will lead to more effective government

• What gets measured gets done.

• If you can’t measure results, you can’t tell success from

failure.

• If you can’t see success, you can’t reward it.

• If you can’t reward success, you’re probably rewarding

failure.

• If you can’t see success, you can’t learn from it.

• If you can’t recognize failure, you can’t correct it.

• If you can demonstrate results, you can win public support.

You can find out more about measuring performance at the NextGen conference this week and, regularly, in The Public Manager.
