The Whole‐of‐Government Approach to Public Sector Reform
Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss “whole‐of‐government” initiatives as a reaction to the negative effects of New Public Management reforms such as structural devolution, “single‐purpose organizations,” and performance management but also as a reaction to a more insecure world. The authors examine what is meant by a “whole‐of‐government” approach and explore how this concept might be interpreted in analytical terms. The structural approach is contrasted with a cultural perspective and a myth‐based perspective. Finally, results, experiences, and lessons from the whole‐of‐government movement are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
