Strategic Performance Management Systems
Strategic performance management is at the heart of every complex organiza6onal system. Alignment and real-­‐6me monitoring of prison administra6on strategic objec6ves, prison units opera6onal objec6ves and prison staff performance across the systems is therefore crucial for obtaining op6mum results. IPS Innova6ve Prison Systems has extensive experience and specific technology based solu6ons regarding: . Strategic objec5ves defini5on & alignment;
. Key performance indicators and design of monitoring systems;
. Business intelligence and balanced scorecard implementa5on;

The wide discussion on the priva6za6on of public services has revolved mostly around arguments based on the ideological background of poli6cal decision makers rather than on the studies that may support them. In fact, in most European countries there is a lack of comprehensive studies assessing the best op6ons for the moderniza6on of jus6ce and correc6onal services comparing different models (including par6al or full-­‐outsourcing) tested (with successes and failures) in various countries around the world.
An assessment -­‐ as a basis for policymaking – comprising the various op6ons for correc6onal services outsourcing (including P PP analysis), as well as models of management and monitoring of the prison systems in the face of these op6ons, is therefore and important work to be conducted.
IPS provides support to prison administra6on decision-­‐
making processes through a compara6ve analysis of different service outsourcing models, including jus6ce and penal execu6on services. Quality Systems Implementa5on
Quality, con6nuous improvement and organiza6onal excellence have become standard vocabulary in public administra6on organiza6ons. IPS Innova6ve Prison Systems has been implemen6ng quality systems (ISO, C AF, EFQM) in both the public and private sectors, with experience in more than 21 prison units. For this purpose, we have developed specific soSware tools, materials and e-­‐
learning content, so that your prison system can func6on as a system and not as an archipelago. IPS experts are able to support you through the journey of con6nuous improvement: . C AF / E FQM implementa5on; . Quality standards implementa5on; . Benchmarking.

Prison Work and Industries
The popula6on serving prison sentences is considerable. Offenders are clearly separated from the rest of society and subject to a high rate of failure in their future reintegra6on. A large body of research confirms the fact that social reintegra6on is directly linked to the re-­‐entry into the labor market. Hence the importance of the task assigned to prison work and prison industries when it comes to providing and maintaining essen6al skills and work habits. Due to overall budget constraints, some prison systems have been focusing their aZen6on on prison industries both as a rehabilita6on solu6on but also as a means to reduce the criminal jus6ce costs, ensuring a higher return in compensa6on to the vic6ms, the community and the prison system itself.
At I PS, we support you:
