High Performing Public Sector

What does it take to become a high performance organization within a renewed public service?

  • Creative thinking
  • Efficient work processes
  • Effective risk management
  • Full accountability for results


These aspects are summarized from the Mazankowski / Tellier Second Report to the Prime Minister on Pursuing a High Performance Public Service. It can be found on the Treasury Board of Canada website.

What are the characteristics of High Performing Public Sector

From our research conducted by the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, we have identified five characteristics of high-performing public sector organizations:

  • Strategic Clarity
    a clear definition and communication of mission, mandate, strategy and outcomes throughout the organization
  • Solid Execution
    efficient processes, transparent prioritization, managed risks, and continuous improvement
  • Strategic Resource Management
    human, financial and physical resources continuously developed and effectively deployed
  • Continuous Evidence-Based Monitoring and Decision-Making
    succinct performance measurement and control frameworks, use of systemic analytics to plan, monitor, report and take corrective action
  • Performance-Oriented Organizational Culture
    a meaningful accountability framework, recognized and rewarded performance, stimulated innovation

How do we get there?

For each of these five characteristics, Interis offers a wide variety of practical solutions and services to help get your organization to be high performing. Interis works collaboratively with you to plan, deliver and monitor the changes to your organization, and transfer the knowledge to your staff for a sustainable solution. Please explore these areas to take your performance to a higher level with Interis.
