Fix your public sector governance problem in a few easy steps!

This new book by a pair of seasoned management consultants provides a step by step guide to reshaping public sector governance through a set of field tested best practices proven to save public sector entities a significant portion of their budgets annually. 

The 3P Approach to Governance by Bryan Shane and Patricia Lafferty of BPC Management Consultants provides the foundation of knowledge/tools to ensure the core requirements for fruitful decision making—transparency and streamlining. It is full of checklists, guides, and pragmatic diagnostic tools to help public sector leaders accurately assess—and dramatically improve—the governance of their organizations. 

“Most public sector leaders know they need to make these kinds of governance changes, but don’t know how to do it” says Lafferty. “The 3P Approach to Governance is a ‘how-to’ guide for diagnosing, upgrading, implementing and sustaining governance best practices throughout an organization”. 

The authors each have more than three decades’ with of experience helping senior public service executives understand and implement the three P’s of good governance: principles, process, and performance. The 3P Approach can be implemented either selectively or wholesale depending on any organization’s needs. 

The 3P Approach to Governance can be purchased on the BPC website or on amazon.ca.
