Governance and the Co-Design of Services: The Importance of a "Governance Perspective"

Peter McKinlay

Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration, 2013, vol. 35, issue 1, 53-70

Abstract: There is growing research-based evidence that strategies of public management need to embrace a "governance perspective" which encourages collaboration between the public, private and non-profit sectors. Outcomes include the more cost-effective targeting and delivery of government-funded services and greater legitimacy for decision-making. Terms such as "co-design" are entering the language alongside the more familiar "co-production". The potential to build a governance perspective in a community opens up the opportunity for significantly better utilisation of public resources.
