CEPMA = A Community of Practice + Opportunities for Learning + Opportunities for Networking
Centre of Excellence in Performance Management and Accountability
Performance management and accountability are paramount for effective public sector leadership and the professional practitioners who serve them. The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) established the Centre of Excellence on Performance Management and Accountability (CEPMA) to promote research and understanding of innovative and creative solutions and to provide support to its members. CEPMA connects public service professionals in the area of performance management, accountability and results through networking, learning opportunities, social media and volunteerism.
Performance Management frameworks will increase in importance and complexity as public sector budgets are reduced, and as public value and accountability to citizens are more closely scrutinized. All governments are examining ways to reduce expenditures while maintaining essential programs and providing effective public services.
CEPMA’s purpose is to:
Increase understanding of performance measurement, management and accountability in a strategic and practical manner through knowledge sharing of timely, relevant material including analytics, evolving metrics, benchmarking, best practices and emerging trends. Resources will aid practitioners in ensuring organizational effectiveness and achievement of results.
Provide a unique forum for collaboration and facilitate a stimulating community of learning, problem solving, networking, developing new approaches and sharing among members.
Guide learning through carefully planned events, insightful webinars, research publications, lessons learned and case studies.
What Does CEPMA Offer?
A Community of Practice
CEPMA offers a non-partisan, collaborative environment to encourage public sector, corporate and academia to communicate, engage and share; to build skills and capacities among the members and their organizations. CEPMA is focused on the participants’ needs, and through this focus, is self sustaining.
