Public Value Interest Group
The public value interest group is an informal association of people with a professional interest in the public value approach to performance management in government and the non-profit sector. The purpose of the group is to share information and resources which promote the public value approach.
What is the public value approach?
The public value approach was developed by Professor Mark Moore, Hauser Professor of Nonprofit Organisations at the Harvard Kennedy School. The approach is set out in his two books:
- Creating Public Value: Strategic Management in Government (1995)
Harvard University Press - Recognising Public Value (2013) Harvard University Press
It is essentially a form of accountability that aims at, and reports, effort and effectiveness toward achieving optimum value in the utilisation of public resources. Read more:
