New registrations will be added to a waitlist, please send an email to info@ppx.ca
Course Description
The Results-Based Management (RBM) Foundations Program is a suite of two courses: “RBM Principles and Basics” and “RBM Functions and Tools.” Together, these are designed to provide participants with the fundamental knowledge, skills, methods, and templates commonly used to manage performance in the public sector. The second course builds on the first, by integrating RBM into key management functions (e.g. planning, risk assessment, monitoring and evaluation, reporting, auditing, etc.). At the end of the course, participants will understand the basic principles of RBM and will be able to more effectively apply the RBM and performance management in a public sector and non-profit environment.
