Planning, Measurement and Reporting

Analyzing the impact of current and potential forces on your organization and positioning it for an optimal response is paramount in today's competitive and complex environment. We work with public and private organizations to develop achievable strategies to address new markets or policy challenges. Our experience in developing planning, evaluation and performance measurement frameworks has provided us with the background required to help clients with a variety of their planning, measurement and reporting requirements. We have assisted clients in the preparation or review of their Strategic Business Plans, Business Cases, Reports on Plans and Priorities, and Departmental Performance Reports. We have also helped agencies at all levels design and implement performance monitoring and evaluation systems. 

These services have been provided through direct consulting, one-on-one coaching, workshops, drafting and editing of documents, and the establishment of templates for use in reporting and planning exercises. We have written and spoken to clients on trends in planning, measurement and reporting across Canada and undertaken comparative reviews of changes in reporting across the state and federal levels of various governments across the world. 

Our work over the past 10 years in the development of performance planning and measurement has taken place across five continents.  In addition, we have helped central agencies to improve the performance planning and reporting regime of  governments. All of these endeavours have helped our clients to integrate their formal organizational reporting with their planning and performance measurement strategies.

Evaluation

Our program evaluation services offer objective information on government program performance plus much more. Managers have found our studies useful to describe the environment, activities, outputs and the effects of their programs. Our work is focused to support decision-making in the areas of strategic planning, policy design, and resource allocation.

PMN and its team have been extensively involved in the Canadian and international evaluation communities through volunteer work at the national and local level of the Canadian Evaluation Society (CES), presentations at events sponsored by CES or the American Evaluation Society, work with central agencies in helping federal evaluation policy evolve and much more.

Our research services are designed to support management decision-making through the investigation of discrete research issues. Our approach, derived from the social science disciplines, includes the development of study hypotheses, key concepts, and operational definitions. Design, execution, and analyses are built upon proven quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Based upon client needs and constraints, we provide state-of-the-art data gathering techniques including telephone, online, or mail surveys, focus groups, and simulations.
