The conference agenda is structured on two days ( October 27-29, 2009 ) and will focus on: * How to develop and sustain a flexible and responsive performance framework in order to monitor and evaluate your programs and services. * How to take a whole-of-government approach to continuously improved services, policy implementation and programs. * How to strengthen both vertical and horizontal accountability practices with integrated operations to support your strategic planning.
