1) Creating Trust in Government

Do you think that performance measurement systems build trust in government? Why, or why not?

2) The Norton and Kaplan article you read this week focuses on Balanced scorecards. The types they discuss are from private sector settings. How do you think these tools might differ in the public or not-for-profit sectors? Or is it the same tool regardless? Why?

3) In the article you read for this week written by Kamensky, he notes that two important design issues need to be confronted when developing performance measurement systems. They include: 1) Politically value-laden issues; and, 2) Managerial and technical issues. Do you think one of these two design concerns is more important than the other? Why, or why not?

4) On page 401 of the Kamensky article, he provides characteristics for a good results-oriented measurement system. Do you think it is easy to create such a system from this blueprint? What might get in the way of it coming to fruition?

10) Don Kettl talks about big data being something of a game changer for government performance systems in 10 important ways. Out of his list, which do you think is the most important? And which do you think is the least important? Why?

11) After reading the Safir Blog post about the use of artificial intelligence in local government, do you think there are issues the government needs to be concerned with regarding this emerging technology?
