Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right turn in U. S. politics has increased conflict over both ends and means in government budgeting and financial management. Overlapping and competing views of the way the world works drive finance officials’ practice. Taking a new look at public financial management that acknowledges the multiple, competing realities, Government Budgeting and Financial Management in Practice: Logics to Make Sense of Ambiguity examines transaction cost economics and other small government, managed-by-the-market techniques as the latest reincarnation of public budgeting and financial management orthodoxy. Gerald J. Miller reviews new research on the continuing validity of the political dimension of government finance decisions and the multiple, intensely argued constructions of reality the finance official must make sense of. Miller discusses major advances in interpretive approaches to budgeting and finance and how they dominate writing in the broader field of public administration. He also examines the effects of the explosion of information systems, new budget techniques, nonconventional ways of spending, and new technologies. The book uses a question as the motivating force to understand some facets of today’s government budgeting, finance, and financial management: where do the critical assumptions come from to drive financial management? Miller takes the history of reform, developments in the field and the logics finance officials say they use as sources for these assumptions and examines what they reveal about constructions of the government finance world. Exploring new avenues of financial management thinking, the book discusses ambiguity and interpretations that move the unclear preferences, ends, and goals toward consensus. The author identifies an alternative approach to research that explains important facets of financial management. This approach is drawn directly from practice, events and problems in public organizations and from the creedal bent of many political actors in competition.

Book excerpt: The Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT's) ability to manage a cost-effective construction program delivery and be accountable to policy-makers and customers regarding the cost and timeliness of highway projects is at risk. The following is ADOT's current situation: There is little consistency in project management; ADOT is not actively managing and controlling budget and scope; The organization does not hold itself and managers accountable for scope, budget, and quality; ADOT's process, tools, and procedures do not enable the most effective use of human and other resources; and There will be continued impacts to ADOT's organizational capacity and health. The following are the desired outcomes from improving ADOT's project management process: (a) ADOT will be able to manage construction program delivery against scope, schedule, budget, and quality objectives on a department-wide basis at the program and project levels; (b) ADOT will hold itself accountable for delivering the program vs. scope, schedule, budget, and quality objectives; (c) The strategic importance of project management will be emphasized by ADOT management; (d) ADOT will increase its project focus to establish a project management culture; (e) The importance and role of project managers and the project management discipline will be elevated; (f) A consistent process at the project level will be established. In this way, more discipline and predictability will be brought to the process. This will strengthen ADOT's ability to manage overall program delivery; and (g) Scopes will be set and budgets managed at the project level. The role and authority of project managers will be strengthened to accomplish these objectives. The decision-making will be proactive, recognizing that in project delivery scope, schedule, and budget decisions impact each other.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book The Trusted Leader written by Terry Newell and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving government on a macro level is only possible with public managers who herald change on a micro level. While many studies of government reform focus on new policies and programs, these public managers—building relationships built on trust—are the real drivers behind many successful reforms. In this second edition, chapter authors once again draw on their real-world experience to demonstrate the importance of values-based leadership. With new research and lessons from the first two years of the Obama administration, chapters focus on the concrete ways in which leaders build effective relationships and trust, while also improving themselves, their organizations, and those they coach. Surveying agencies both horizontally and vertically, The Trusted Leader also addresses how public managers can collaborate with political appointees and the legislative branch, while still engaging with citizens to create quality customer experiences. Two brand-new chapters focus on: “Effective Conversations”—the importance of one-on-one conversations to building trust, with a model for having such conversations. “The Diversity Opportunity”—the need to effectively lead across a diverse workforce and a diverse society to build trust in both realms. With the addition of chapter headnotes, the editors provide necessary context, while the new “Resources for Further Learning” feature guides readers toward additional print and web resources.
