8th NISPAcee – EGPA Trans-European Dialogue
In this TED, we will study this
proposition. We will take stock of existing performance management efforts and
ask ourselves whether performance management can address its critiques when developed
as a learning system. This being a dialogue,
we will try to understand differences between countries and administrative
traditions in Europe, but we will also pay attention to shared challenges that
European governments are facing. Papers can evaluate current practices as well
as propose prospective directions.
