Managing For Results: Success in Pinal County, AZ

Marv, our founder and CEO, sent this dispatch from Arizona –

At the annual meeting of the Arizona City/County Managers’ Association (ACMA) in Tucson in late July, I had the privilege of standing with Terry Doolittle, Pinal County Manager and Kent Taylor, Pinal's MFR Coordinator to present “Managing for Results” to the conference attendees. Terry and Kent made a great presentation on Pinal County's considerable progress in implementing Managing for Results. I shared an overview of MFR and how to implement MFR in tough times like these – and the value it can bring to help you master the challenges of government today.

Pinal County’s progress is really impressive. Take a look at the presentation (you can download it by clicking here), and I think you will agree! While much of the presentation focused on the changes and improvements in Pinal County’s core management systems, Terry and Kent shared many insights on change management and what has and has not worked to bring greater focus on results for customers.

Their presentation was very enlightening for conference attendees who have not yet begun their efforts to manage performance and very helpful to those who have. We are privileged to be Pinal’s MFR partner.

Weidner was a Platinum Sponsor of the Conference and looks forward to a long relationship with the ACMA. At our booth, Jeremy Stephens, Weidner’s Lead Software Representative, featured demonstrations of MFR Live and got a great response from city and county managers alike.
