The document discusses evaluation in government and provides recommendations to improve it. It notes that there is no comprehensive overview of evaluation coverage and gaps. While chief analysts recognize poor quality evidence, evaluations vary significantly in robustness, and poorly done evaluations tend to make bold claims. Many spending decisions did not refer to existing evaluation evidence. The recommendations are to improve the quality of evaluations, increase their use in policy decisions, address gaps in coverage, and allocate more resources to evaluation.

The cognitive biases and fallacies that trick us into believing our plans are accurate and achievable, that people are the only barriers to a plans success and that keep us tied to our plans long after they are proved to be hopelessly wrong.
Examining Growth Expectations
This document discusses common issues that cause companies' growth projections to fail. It identifies five main causes of overinflated growth projections: (1) double counting of benefits across initiatives, (2) overlooking constraints like resources and IT capabilities, (3) static analyses that don't account for market changes, (4) overly optimistic forecasts due to biases, and (5) a lack of unique benefits for each initiative. The document advocates addressing these issues by ensuring growth plans are well-aligned with actions, use risk-adjusted forecasts, incorporate market dynamics, are based on realistic timelines, and have initiatives with unique benefits. This will create more realistic expectations of growth prospects and enable companies to address any gaps before experiencing an unexpected shortfall
Controls Maturity Indicators RUTGERS 2014
This document discusses using audit results to measure controls maturity over time. It proposes that factors like the number of audit findings, their severity, and the time to complete audits can serve as indicators of controls maturity. The document presents analysis showing trends between these factors over two years, like fewer findings and shorter cycle times in the second year. This suggests increasing controls maturity. Lessons learned include maturing processes, data availability, experience, and timely responses helping to improve controls maturity.

The document discusses using a single metric called "Time to Feedback" to effectively measure software development teams. It argues that Time to Feedback captures the essential goal of delivering value to stakeholders quickly. The document provides examples of metrics that can measure Time to Feedback directly or indirectly and cautions that indirect "proxy" metrics need to be carefully selected to avoid unintended consequences. It emphasizes comparing teams to their own past performance rather than competing against each other.

Organizing and Managing Program Evaluation
The document outlines the key steps in managing a program evaluation for a housing ministry, including defining evaluation topics, determining methodology, overseeing contractor work, and ensuring policy impact. It provides two examples: an evaluation of a program moving families to middle-class neighborhoods found no significant education impacts after 5 years; and an evaluation of economic development loan programs found they achieved most job goals but with higher default rates than typical loans.
6S-RR_PP2
The document outlines six strategies to improve response rates for non-institutional surveys: 1) Personalize the survey invitation, 2) Refine the survey format and design, 3) Advocate for survey participation beforehand, 4) Reflect on the value of participation, 5) Regulate the survey administration process, and 6) Assure participants' privacy and trust in the system. It also discusses issues like language proficiency, cultural traditions, and population diversity that can hinder response rates. The conclusion emphasizes giving participants discretion over responding and maintaining privacy as essential aspects of effective surveys.
Benefits Management – a fool’s errand?
Stephen Jenner designed, implemented and operated the Criminal Justice System (overseeing a £2 billion investment in modernising justice) IT approach to Portfolio & Benefits Management that has been recognised internationally (in reports to the OECD and European Commission and in a case study published by Gartner) and which won the 2007 Civil Service Financial Management Award. He was infamously described by the UK Government CIO as, "the Rottweiler of benefits management." Steve will outline the research evidence, the possible explanations and solutions which call for a radically different approach to the way organisations approach the realisation of benefits from their investments in change.

The document discusses strategic planning for libraries. It outlines the key differences between strategic plans and master plans, noting that strategic plans should focus on where the library wants to go in the future rather than just where it is now. The presentation identifies five common reasons why strategic plans fail: having an ineffective vision, limited future forecasting, poor leadership, inappropriate use of community input, and not committing enough time to the planning process. Effective strategic plans require envisioning how the library and community may change in the future.
OECD Principles on Budgetary Governance - Andrew Blazey, OECD
This document reports on the implementation of budgetary governance recommendations from the OECD Council. It finds that medium-term expenditure frameworks and fiscal rules have been widely applied. Notable improvements include accrual accounting and independent fiscal institutions. Spending reviews to examine efficiency and effectiveness are also common. Opportunities exist to further integrate cross-cutting goals like gender equality and sustainability. Future work should broaden the analysis of challenges and technologies supporting budget transparency and performance. Regular monitoring will continue to assess implementation progress.

This document provides guidance for local authorities in developing action plans to address under-delivery of housing identified through the Housing Delivery Test. It discusses lessons learned from the first round of action plans, forecasting housing delivery, key components of effective action plans, dealing with the presumption in favor of sustainable development, and engaging with developers. The document emphasizes keeping action plans concise, focused on outcomes, and framed in a way that various audiences can understand. It also provides templates and examples of good action plans that address both immediate and long-term actions to increase housing delivery.
FEG AISNE Fall 2011 Fiduciary Responsibility of Committees Final Slides
The document summarizes the fiduciary responsibilities of investment committees and discusses challenges they face, oversight structures, and best practices. It notes that committees must balance manager proliferation, market complexity, selection processes, and their own dynamics. Effective oversight requires understanding different fiduciary levels and allocating decision rights. Best practices include strong leadership, decision-making frameworks, ongoing education, and avoiding blame.
Evidence 3 - PPT - Top_tips_for_winning_bids_12July2011-Brunel
This document summarizes a workshop on improving bid proposals for funding. The workshop aimed to help attendees identify the key skills for successful bid writing, common pitfalls, and how to utilize project team skills and top tips to strengthen bids. The agenda covered bid characteristics of winners and losers, the skills of successful bidding teams, clues in funding prospectuses, and how to please funding panels. Top losing bid traits included providing too much or too little information, non-compliance, missing clues, poor evidence of need, and poor articulation. The workshop encouraged participants to consider strategic fit, effort required, partnerships, funding contributions, income potential and preliminary research when deciding whether to submit a bid.
Week10 : Budgetary Process
1. Budgeting faces increasing uncertainty due to factors like changing revenue sources and increasing expenditure demands. This environment promotes dysfunctional budgeting tactics that compound uncertainty.
2. Traditional budgeting had defects like not maximizing societal returns and being a political outcome. Budget reforms aim to rationalize outcomes but often undermine this by political and bureaucratic behavior. Reforms of techniques and processes alone are not enough and must consider the political climate.
3. Successful budget reforms clearly explain aims beyond new techniques or processes. They must acknowledge the political rationale and inertia of existing budget methods. Reforms may be instituted formally but old practices often continue, so substance is not changed.
Project Reviews - The Basics
1) An effective project review should regularly check the health of the project and refresh the project manager without feeling like attacks. Surprises should be rare if reviews are regular.
2) Reviews focus on key conversations about safety, people, quality, schedule, cost, and risks/opportunities.
3) Metrics indicate project status from urgent intervention needed to normal monitoring and control.
2015 NGMA slides

It outlines the key components of an effective evaluation plan, including identifying the evaluator, developing objectives and indicators, creating a logic model and timeline. The presentation aims to help attendees understand how to create strong evaluation plans that can improve their projects and demonstrate accountability.
Eurosai presentation: acceptance of gifts and hospitality
The investigation reviewed policies on gifts and hospitality within the UK civil service and compared them to international standards. It found that while guidance prohibited actual conflicts of interest, some departments' guidance did not clearly define gifts and hospitality or require all offers to be recorded. Analysis of registers found that some senior officials frequently accepted hospitality from certain organizations. A small number of acceptances were questionable in terms of purpose or proportionality. The report concluded oversight and controls over gifts and hospitality needed strengthening to address weaknesses and ensure public trust.
Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement (VPR) programme
In January 2014, the UK government established the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement programme in response to the Syrian refugee crisis. The programme was scaled up in September 2015 when the then Prime Minister announced that
20,000 of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees from Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Turkey would be resettled in the UK by May 2020. The programme became the joint responsibility of the Home Office, the Department for International
Development and the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Transforming Rehabilitation
The Ministry of Justice has successfully restructured the probation landscape, but there is more to do to stabilise and
improve the performance of Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) and the National Probation Service (NPS).
National Offender Management Service’s (NOMS’s) oversight of CRCs is robust but significantly lower levels of business, if
translated into reduced income, would affect some CRCs’ ability to transform.
The NPS is not yet operating as a truly national, sustainable service.
An introduction to the National Audit Office
The National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinizes public spending for Parliament and helps hold government departments accountable. It certifies over 350 government accounts each year and publishes reports on value for money. The Comptroller and Auditor General leads the independent NAO staff and has access and reporting rights. The NAO's work supports Parliamentary committees and helps improve public services.
The art of spending public money wisely
Presentation held by Sue Higgins, Executive Leader at the National Audit Office, at Civil Service Live 2015
Spending public money wisely
The document discusses four pervasive issues with public spending: conflicting priorities, ignoring inconvenient facts, things being "out of sight and out of mind", and not learning from mistakes. It provides examples of government departments that have improved handling conflicting priorities and not ignoring inconvenient facts. The director of the National Audit Office concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information.

The content of the session, given at Civil Service Live in Newcastle and London was as follows:
Hear from experts from the National Audit Office about the unique insight and learnings they have gained from their work on digital in government, and how this can benefit you.
• The government’s starting point for digital
• An overview of the digital journey – current landscape and the new challenges that government has to meet
• The NAO’s journey to understand Digital
• Key findings from our work
• NAO direction – where our future work is likely to be
• Q&A sessionNational Audit Office Annual Report and Accounts 2013-14
The document summarizes the National Audit Office's (NAO) annual report and accounts for 2013-14. The NAO scrutinizes public spending for Parliament and published 427 audit reports totaling over £1 trillion in public funds. It published 66 value for money reports on government activity and 4 local services studies for Parliament. The NAO helped identify £1.1 billion in government savings and 86% of its recommendations were accepted. It achieved a 17% reduction in costs since 2010-2011 while focusing over 80% of its resources on front-line work.
Community Budgets presentation by Angela Hands 9 July 2013
The document discusses Whole-Place Community Budgets (WPCBs), an initiative that brings together developments in public policy and service delivery. While ideas of partnership working are not new, past initiatives lacked robust evidence of improved outcomes. The Department for Communities and Local Government established WPCBs in four pilot areas to thoroughly test how integrating all local public service funding can be implemented and impact outcomes. The areas recognized the importance of cost-benefit analysis and evaluation in their pragmatic approaches. Local areas and central government worked cooperatively to deliver the plans, representing a promising model for future policy design. Next steps include implementing proposals, evaluating results, and continuing engagement across government.

Process management
The document provides an overview of the NAO's assessment of process management maturity across 12 government organizations. The NAO assessed performance against five areas: strategy, information, people, process, and improvement. The summary findings are that while some good practices exist, few organizations consistently demonstrate strong process management characteristics. Specifically, the assessment identified gaps in understanding customer demand, creating an environment where staff improve processes, and proving the benefits of change.
Government’s digital future & NAO’s changing approach
Presentation given by Sally Howes at conference held at NAO on 15 November 2012: online services and local government
Government’s digital journey & NAO’s changing approach
The NAO is changing its approach to respond to the UK government's digital transformation:
(1) GDS is leading a clear message that public services must be digital by default to empower the public and maintain quality as costs are reduced.
(2) Delivering this digital transformation is challenging and goes beyond just ICT, but it is central to the government's reform plans.
(3) In response, the NAO is analyzing digital services through the entire enterprise rather than just ICT projects, using business analytics methods, and building expertise in Agile delivery and governance.

This document discusses the National Audit Office's (NAO) work in assessing operational delivery and process management maturity across UK government organizations. The NAO has developed a Process Management Maturity Analytic tool consisting of 40 questions across 5 areas to evaluate how well organizations manage business operations. The NAO has found that UK government organizations are generally least mature in areas like understanding customer demand and empowering staff to continuously improve. Moving forward, the NAO aims to help close these performance gaps and share best practices both within the UK government and internationally.More from UK National Audit Office (16)

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
