In December 200, the Government Performance Coalition sent President-elect George W. Bush a Memo outlining nine major management challenges facing his new administration. The Pricewaterhouse Coopers Endowment asked each member of the Coalition to prepare a more detailed Memo containing specific recommendations on how the new administration could respond to those management challenges. A comprehensive guidance on public sector policies and quality schemes. It explains the benefits to be gained from these schemes, how they fit together and how they can help deliver Government policy on the ground.
Practical experience is illustrated through a range of examples taken from across the public sector.
