Abstract

Vooral sinds de opkomst van Fortuyn in Nederland houdt de tegenstelling tussen publieke managers en professionals de gemoederen bezig. Managers van uitvoerende overheidsdiensten, leidinggevenden bij de politie, bestuurders en 'divisiemanagers' van zorginstellingen, en procesmanagers in het onderwijs zouden professionals op werkvloeren - politieagenten, artsen, onderwijzers - beklemmen, degraderen en demotiveren. Door hun behoefte om te groeien, door hun nadruk op transparantie en registratie, en hun preoccupatie met efficiency en 'targets' zouden managers allerlei problemen op werkvloeren veroorzaken, en schuldig zijn aan kwaliteitsverlies bij publieke dienstverlening. Voor velen is de oplossing inmiddels: "weg met de managers". In dit boek worden deze aantijgingen kritisch tegen het licht gehouden. Betoogd zal worden dat er rond publieke dienstverlening inderdaad veel aan de hand is, maar ook dat managers dat niet zomaar aangerekend kan worden. Nieuwe maatschappelijke opgaven die zich tijdens en rond dienstverlening voordoen - veeleisende cliënten, nieuwe technologieën, betwiste kennis, mediadruk - gaan professionals te boven, en vragen juist om managers. In plaats van de simpele post-Fortuynvoorstelling van politici die goede beslissingen nemen en professionals die dan kwaliteit leveren, en niets daartussen zijn goede publieke managers nodig die tussen politiek en professionals maatschappelijke opgaven aangaan. Dat vereist wel specifieke capaciteiten, want het zakelijke management en de steriele MBA-taal waarop veel publieke managers leunen, schieten tekort

Abstract

The free market has become the accepted model for the public sector. Politicians on all sides compete to spread the gospel. And so, in the UK and elsewhere, there's been massive investment in public sector 'improvement', 'customer choice' has been increased and new targets have been set and refined.But our experience is that things haven't changed much. This is because governments have invested in the wrong things. Belief in targets, incentives and inspection; belief in economies of scale and shared back-office services; belief in 'deliverology... these are all wrong-headed ideas and yet they have underpinned this government's attempts to reform the public sector.John Seddon here dissects the changes that have been made in a range of services, including housing benefits, social care and policing. His descriptions beggar belief, though they would be funnier if it wasn't our money that was being wasted.In place of the current mess, he advocates a Systems Thinking approach where individuals come first, waste is reduced and responsibility replaces blame. It's an approach that is proven, successful and relatively cheap - and one that governments around the world, and their advisers, need to adopt urgently.

With the rush of calamitous events in recent years-the September 11 terror attacks, the Iraq imbroglio, and hurricanes Katrina and Rita-Americans feel themselves to be living in dark times. Trust in one another and in the government is at low ebb. People in public service face profound challenges to the meaning and efficacy of their work. Where can a public servant turn for a public philosophy to sustain practice?Inspired by Hannah Arendt and several other philosophers, Governance in Dark Times is the first book to explore the philosophical and value underpinnings needed to guide public servan
