Managing Performance Strategically in Education Agencies by Allison Layland,Sam Redding Pdf

This book gives an education leader a practical path to organizational effectiveness, shared sense of direction, and clear focus on outcomes for students. Setting a clear direction, structuring personnel for the greatest productivity, engaging everyone in meaningful work, tracking organizational performance, and encouraging innovation are fundamental concerns for every kind of education organization—schools, districts, state agencies included. Yet, education leaders struggle to give due attention to these organizational matters while also tackling the challenges of meeting the needs of their students. They are searching for a path leading to both organizational productivity and excellence in learning for students, a path that enlists the passions and efforts of all personnel. Strategic Performance Management (SPM) integrates strategic planning with performance management into a seamless process by which an education organization develops and operationalizes a strategic direction. This direction goes beyond the basic elements of vision, mission, values, goals, and strategies to include careful analysis of the functions performed by the organization, its units, and its positions (roles) to facilitate effective placement, assignment, and training of personnel. SPM emphasizes planning through strategic thinking that enables the organization to make critical adjustments as needs and context change. It provides the flexibility to act in times of crisis. Most of all, it gets everyone moving in the same direction, aimed at goals for students.

Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education by Allan R. Odden Pdf

Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education offers a comprehensive and strategic approach to address what has become labeled as "talent and human capital." Grounded in extensive research and examples of leading edge districts, this book shows how the entire human resource system in schools—from recruitment, to selection/placement, induction, professional development, performance management and evaluation, compensation, and career progression—can be reformed and restructured to boost teacher and principal effectiveness in ways that dramatically improve instructional practice and student learning. Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education guides educators towards putting more effective teachers, teacher leaders, and principals in the country’s schools—especially in poverty-impacted urban and rural communities—equipping those teacher and principals with instructional and leadership expertise, and rewarding and retaining those who are successful in attaining these objectives. Drawing from cases, experiences, and deliberations from a national task force, this book outlines a comprehensive framework for how to transform current human resource management practices into authentic, strategic talent management systems in order to improve student achievement.

Strategic Performance Management by Marek Jabłoński Pdf

The management of modern companies requires full focus on planning activities and reaching expected goals, and in particular on monitoring achievements at the levels of strategy, the business model and management style. Company efficiency and effectiveness, as the key determinants of success, need systemic solutions that will help the company succeed and survive in a specific timeframe. Strategic Performance Management is becoming increasingly popular as a result. It not only monitors specific groups of indicators which is important, but also details a strategic approach to performance evaluation, which forces managers to consider all actions from the point of view of strategy implementation. Company strategy supported by business model attributes should be conducive to the growth of company value, not only in the context of the expectations of shareholders, but also other stakeholder groups. A strategic approach to the management of company high performance integrates company strategy, the business model and management style into a coherent system that is monitored in the context of the impact of this approach on the success of companies in challenging and uncertain business conditions. Taking the above conditions into account, a scientific monograph has been prepared, combining the experience of many scientific centers from many countries in the world, dealing with the subject of Strategic Performance Management: New Concepts and Contemporary Trends. The selection of this subject is no coincidence, as nowadays both management theoreticians and practitioners are looking for such systemic solutions in the area of company performance which ensure its survival and expected growth and development in particular. The monograph contains the following chapters, which aim to show the interdisciplinary character and importance of the issue of strategic performance management, compared to new management concepts and many individual approaches to this management problem. The monograph contains 27 chapters which deal with the issue of strategic performance management in various aspects, which proves the interdisciplinary nature of this management concept. The achievement of this monograph is that it shows how widely the issue of strategic performance management can be examined and in what areas it may be relevant. The editor and authors hope that the theoretical and practical aspects presented will be of interest to the readers and will be an inspiration for the development of this subject not only at the scientific level, but also for practical implementation at the company level. The book should help academics develop the issue of strategic performance management; in regards to business consultants, it can be used as a source of inspiration for practical implementations and it shows managers good practices in this area.

Dynamic Performance Management by Carmine Bianchi Pdf

This book explores how to design and implement planning & control (P&C) systems that can help organizations to manage their growth and restructuring processes in a sustainability perspective. The book is not designed to enable the reader to become an experienced system dynamics modeler; rather, it aims to develop the reader’s capabilities to design and implement performance management systems by using a system dynamics approach. More specifically, the book shows how to develop system dynamics models that can better support an understanding of: -What is organizational performance and how to frame and measure it; -How to identify and map the processes underlying performance; -How to design and implement a dynamic performance management system and link it to strategic planning; -How to tie strategic resource dynamics to processes and performance indicators; -How to link strategic resources, and performance indicators to responsibility and incentive systems. Using a dynamic performance management approach can improve an organization’s capability to understand and manage the forces driving performance over time, as well as set goals and objectives that may properly and selectively gauge results and match them to the key responsibility areas in the planning process. The dynamic performance management approaches covered in the book are beneficial to performance management analysts, enabling them to frame their professional field within the broader context of the system. The book also includes numerous case studies and dynamic performance management models for providing examples of how dynamic performance management works in practice. In addition, a literature review is included to provide a guideline for further improvements to those readers who wish to develop relevant, specific, and detailed system dynamics modeling skills and to establish the foundation for teaching system dynamics applied to performance management in organizational and inter-organizational contexts. This is particularly relevant for graduate students who have taken system dynamics courses and need to apply their own skills to business and public management.

Strategic Human Resource Management in Higher Education by Jai Mohan Pandit,Bino Paul Pdf

This book explores the practices and policies of human resource management (HRM) in higher education institutions (HEI), while also analyzing the governance and structural challenges. It explains the assessment of university as an organization, outlining the distinction between universities and firms from an HRM point of view by analysing various objectives, parameters and outcomes. The book broadly probes the relevance of HRM systems in HEIs in India and their potential impact. It also examines whether existing HRM practices and policies in HEIs in India drive motivation and enable employees to perform their functions to achieve the highest possible levels of excellence. It explores whether the enhanced motivation of employees consistently impacts students, their placements, progress to higher education, and quality teaching and research output. To strengthen the research output, to better understand the functioning of HRM practices in foreign HEIs and for comparative reasons, the book also studies HEIs in the United States against a diverse set of HEIs in India. It concludes by highlighting the impact of India’s National Education Policy 2020 and its scope to transform and professionalise the higher education system in the country. The book is indispensable for researchers in education management and policy studies and those in governing positions in higher education institutions. It is also a valuable resource for regulatory and government bodies, and policy-formulating think tanks in South Asia which have a similar education system as India.

Strategic Management in Public Services Organizations by Ewan Ferlie,Edoardo Ongaro Pdf

Strategic Management in Public Services Organizations takes a comparative and international view on the appropriate use of strategic management models that are affecting the way public services organizations are managed. In an era of New and post New Public Management reforms, public managers at all levels are expected to respond to these new approaches, which profoundly affect their work practices, skills, and knowledge bases. Choosing a promising strategic management model and implementing it in a way that works for the organization or inter-organizational network in question also depends on an understanding of local politico-administrative and cultural contexts: this book helps the readers identify how to successfully tailor strategic management approaches to their specific circumstances and needs. This second edition builds upon the successes of the well-received first edition. Thoroughly updated to help public managers meet the challenges of a new decade, it has a refreshed collection of mini-cases and now includes chapter summaries. It also includes a new chapter on collaborative strategy and co-creation, in response to the growth of interest in more open forms of public policymaking. This is an advanced textbook aimed at the postgraduate level, particularly students on MPAs and MBAs with a public sector option or MScs in public policy and public management.
