The framework focuses on 3 key aspects of public sector performance:
- Planning—at the whole-of-government, agency and individual levels to determine what outcomes are to be achieved for customers, stakeholders and the community.
- Measuring and Monitoring Performance—achieved across the whole-of-government direction, agency business direction, agency service delivery, and at the individual level.
- Public Reporting—of the performance of the Queensland Government, in a fair and balanced way, to facilitate accountability.
In focusing on these key areas the PMF helps to:
- inform direction setting, planning and policy development and implementation
- inform capability, resourcing and service delivery
- effectively measure and report on progress and achievements.
