Praise for Key Performance Indicators for Government and Non profit Agencies

"David Parmenter is a leading thinker on performance measurement. I admire his work very much. This application of David′s seminal thinking on KPIs to the public and non profit sectors is a major contribution to the field. Any practitioner or manager who is serious about improving measurement in their organizations should read this book."
—Dean R. Spitzer, PhD, author of Transforming Performance Measurement

"Government and non profit agencies are both completely different and at the same time exactly the same as private sector organizations. David has done a brilliant job of presenting the best practices and lessons (hard) learned from the private sector, as applied in the mission–driven sector. This powerful and unique view should help prevent society from ′re–learning′ what has been learned, and leverage those best practices forward to benefit all. This work surpasses all previous works in capturing what society has learned and applying it where it is needed most."
—Brett Knowles, Executive Partner, pm2 – Performance Measurement and Management

"It′s about time someone raised the questions that David Parmenter does in his new book Key Performance Indicators for Government and Non Profit Agencies. For too long, managers and strategy and performance professionals have blindly followed assumptions about what performance measurement is about, wasting vast amounts of time and effort measuring the wrong things in the wrong ways. David reminds us, in his usual practical fashion, how to return to a more meaningful way of measuring performance."
—Stacey Barr, author, presenter, and facilitator, PuMP Performance Measure Blueprint Workshops and Online Programs

"In his new book, David Parmenter brings a breath of fresh air to the art of crafting and implementing performance metrics. With a keen eye for how measurement works in the crucible of business operations, David once again provides page after page of practical, no–nonsense advice about how to measure business performance. And with his relentless focus on results, he′s not afraid to poke holes at sacred methodologies and complex approaches. This book is chock–full of practical nuggets of advice. It′s a manual for performance management success."
—Wayne Eckerson, Principal, BI Leader Consulting
