Slide 9

Originally published June 11, 2007 in The Tallahassee Democrat Management training program has its benefits By Bill Cotterell [CPM is] really a neat program, a win-win-win proposition for employees, employers and taxpayers. "What a good job it's done in teaching us to always keep reinventing ourselves," said Barbara Ford-Coates, the Sarasota County tax collectora 1992 graduate of the CPM program and a big believer. Ford-Coates said [that] studying public administration in the classroom doesn't offer immediate opportunities to apply what you've learned in a real office; the CPM program requires such real-life participation. "It's just the class of all classes," she said. With state and local governments increasingly forced to do more with less, with competition for good workers rising, with much of the public convinced - right or wrong - that government everywhere is bloated and unresponsive, it's good to have a system for professionalizing management.

Slide 10

Florida Trend Magazine Recognizing Real Pros in Government I believe that professional training programs like the Certified Public Manager program are important for all of us. Innovations along with the professionalism and high standards encouraged in programs like CPM, have a direct impact on taxpayers well-being. And thats always good for business.

Evaluation of Certified Public Manager Program Since 2006, DCF has sent 300 employees to CPM Approximately 135 projects have been undertaken by CPM enrollees Three projects, alone, have reported documented annual savings of $360K. Key Findings

Slide 30

At least one project was implemented state-wide Others resulted in significant improvement in re- engineered processes, redesigned jobs, reduced cycle time, and increased customer satisfaction. Key Findings Evaluation of Certified Public Manager Program

Slide 31

The Bottom Line: It is therefore reasonable to assume CPM is providing value well beyond its cost. Key Findings Evaluation of Certified Public Manager Program

Slide 32

All graduates/enrollees consider CPM relevant and applicable to their job and the agency. Over 90% of the respondents reported applying CPM content to their work setting. The program is achieving its goal of professionalizing DCF supervisors and managers through the development of a core group of committed and exemplary leaders in higher level skills. Key Findings

Slide 33

Evaluation of Certified Public Manager Program Some managers are unaware that projects have been implemented and are benefiting the agency. The inability to leverage the high impact work done by project teams represents a major unrealized value to DCF. Manager support is the key to ensuring widespread application of the content and institutionalization of the leadership principles taught in CPM Key Findings - Shortcomings
