COURSE OVERVIEW

Results-Based Management (RBM) is learning how to design and use a strategic performance effectiveness management tool that clarifies where performance is strong or weak typically using the thirdgeneration balanced scorecard. RBM is simply a management tool that uses feedback loops to achieve organisational strategic goals and is fast becoming the preferred system used in government where purely financial measures are not the key drivers and there is no competition to benchmark against.

RBM asserts that everybody who contributes directly or indirectly to the desired organizational result should map out their product or service processes and systems showing how they all contribute to the desired result. This ‘result’ maybe a physical output, a change, an impact or a contribution to a higher-level goal. Information (evidence) of the actual results is used for accountability, reporting and to feedback into the design, resourcing and delivery of projects and operational activities.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

The important features of the Results-Based Management  (RBM) training course are:

  • Mapping of connections between the parts
  • Identifying the key features of a results culture to show how the system should work as a unified whole
  • Exploring key success factors
  • Using the model to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in their own RBM systems and cultures
  • Developing a strategy to address their priorities

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By attending Results-Based Management  (RBM) training course, delegates will be able to:  

  • Understand what RBM is and is not
  • Use RBM principles and processes
  • Theory of change and strategic results framework
  • Risk registers
  • Integrated monitoring and evaluation
  • The use of evidence from monitoring and evaluation in decision-making
  • Meaningful reporting to key stakeholders.
  • Put RBM into practice
  • Design, implement and monitor the RBM framework
  • Master the principles and practices of risk management when applied to RBM

TARGET AUDIENCE

The Results-Based Management  (RBM) training course is designed for project managers, senior managers and their team members.  Participants will be encouraged to consider their current organizational strategies when we apply the RBM concepts introduced to training case studies.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

This practical and results-oriented course is based on adult learning concept using case studies. Emphasis is on practical skills. Plenary presentations, case studies, role-playing and group work with the use of templates and practical tools will be supplemented with knowledge transfer activities that each participant will develop and implement in their work. The number of participants will be restricted on the training to ensure quality time utilization for each participant.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
