Organizations such as California Forward emphasize the use of performance measures to encourage more effective use of public resources. This class provides an overview to performance measurement and its techniques to measure and share with community on what citizens are getting for their money. Discussion highlights the benefits and costs of performance measurement, how it can be of value to counties, how to design and implement a measurement system and the pitfalls to avoid.
