Managing for Results Training Program

Maryland State Government operates under a customer focused management model that includes Managing for Results (MFR) and StateStat. MFR is a strategic planning process that sets organizational direction and priorities, establishes desired program results/outcomes, and measures progress toward achieving those results. StateStat is a performance based government accountability process that involves regular and frequent submission, review and analysis of performance data; frequent accountability meetings with the Governor and Governor’s executive staff; continuous review of agency strategies and tactics to meet agency goals; and continuous assessment of agency progress toward achieving goals. StateStat and Managing for Results are complementary management and budgeting tools that share a commitment to continuous improvement in State government programs, and the improved efficiency and effectiveness of State government.

The MFR training program includes a core curriculum of courses provided by the University of Baltimore.

The purpose of the formalized classroom MFR training is to provide public managers and employees with: 1) a working knowledge of the principles of strategic planning and performance measurement, and 2) enhanced skills in practical application of these principles. It is highly recommended that agency personnel attend the MFR-100 Introduction to Managing for Results prior to obtaining consulting and/or facilitation assistance, and before attending other courses in the curriculum.
