      Vincenzo Vignieri

      Abstract

      The environment in which public and private organizations operate has become increasingly complex and highly unpredictable. Though social issues arise in a policy field, they are likely to escalate, possibly through a pattern affected by delays. These complex features characterize “wicked” community problems.

   3. Chapter 2. Dynamic Performance Management: A Methodological Framework to Enhance Public Value-Driven Performance Regimes

      Vincenzo Vignieri

      Abstract

      Public value-driven performance regimes capture the increasing commitment of a plurality of actors to pursue quality-of-life and other community outcomes. At the local level, such regimes concern the governance of various public programs (e.g., social inclusion, health care, housing, urban regeneration, culture, and tourism). In such governance settings, a plurality of actors is called to collaborate to generate public value for the local community. This entails supporting local area policy-makers and their stakeholders with inter-institutional performance management routines that may help them to develop a systems understanding of how to improve community outcomes.

   2. Chapter 3. Fostering Policy Learning in Public Value-Driven Performance Regimes Through Dynamic Performance Management

      Vincenzo Vignieri

      Abstract

      For contemporary public administration, the aim of public sector organizations is delivering value to the administered community (Bryson et al., 2014; Moore, 1995; Moore & Hartley, 2009; Osborne, 2020). Performance regimes are collections of routines that—if properly designed—may enhance public sector organizations’ aptitude to accomplish such goal. However, in the increasingly complex and highly unpredictable governance context, it is hard for policy-makers and their stakeholders to implement performance regimes.

   3. Chapter 4. Applying Dynamic Performance Management to Implement Policy Learning for Assessing Community Outcomes

      Vincenzo Vignieri

      Abstract

      This chapter will show how DPM may provide the actors in a public value-driven performance regime with the methodological framework to implement policy learning for assessing community outcomes, illustrated by different examples. Before presenting the empirical work, the following sections will discuss the main methodological challenges associated with outcome-based performance assessment to set the field for showing how DPM may implement policy learning in public value-driven performance regimes.
