how the pss works
The Public Sector Scorecard is a workshop-based approach with three phases:
1. Strategy mapping: Initial workshops focus on identifying identifying and addressing the outcomes required by the organisation, its service users and other key stakeholders, including value for money. The strategy map is a key output of the PSS, showing the relationships between outcomes and process and capability outputs. This is refined further after consideration of risk issues.
2. Service improvement: This involves process re-design, perhaps using systems thinking, process mapping and lean approaches, followed by addressing the capability elements to support people and processes in achieving the required outcomes. Capability elements are the various organisational, cultural and resource issues that will enable people and processes to achieve the various outcomes.

OVERVIEWThe Public Sector Scorecard is an integrated strategy mapping, service improvement and performance measurement framework. It extends and adapts the balanced scorecard to fit the culture and values of the public and voluntary sectors. It has been used in Canada, Chile and South Africa as well as the UK.

FEEDBACK ON THE PSSThe Public Sector Scorecard has 'moved performance management from a top-down, blinkered, blame-game approach to a system founded on inclusiveness, cooperation and understanding’. The Operational Research Society
"The PSS was very helpful, as it enables one to see what's happening across the health and social care system and where the balance of risks lies." John Mothersole, Chief Executive, Sheffield City Council FOR FURTHER FEEDBACK CLICK HERE |
