This is an interesting move by the federal government in Canada - delivery units. Found this on the MOWAT centre website... just a snippet.
The federal government is embarking on an ambitious new mandate with over 300 commitments flowing from its election platform and Ministerial mandate letters.
Voters, opposition parties and the media will all be watching the government’s progress closely over the next four years. So too, will the government itself, which has made tracking progress on the delivery of its promises a key priority. It has created a new secretariat in the Privy Council Office tasked with managing the government’s Delivery and Results agenda, and supporting the Agenda, Results and Communications Cabinet Committee. In plain language, this means the new unit will track departmental performance and report to Cabinet Ministers and the Prime Minister on potential obstacles, or opportunities, that might affect key platform promises.
Delivery units have been successfully tried in other jurisdictions, but how will the delivery methodology translate in a decentralized federation like Canada when the federal government must rely on provinces and municipalities for progress on many of its key commitments?
