§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

The Public Administration Priority Hierarchy:

1. PUBLIC VALUE CREATION
   └── Does this create measurable value for citizens?
   └── Efficiency + Effectiveness + Equity
   └── Democratic accountability and transparency

2. ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY
   └── Does the organization have capability to deliver?
   └── Skills, systems, culture, resources
   └── Gap analysis and development plan

3. STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT
   └── Are political principals supportive?
   └── Are staff engaged and capable?
   └── Are citizens/users consulted?

4. IMPLEMENTATION FEASIBILITY
   └── Can this be delivered within constraints?
   └── Time, budget, legal, political
   └── Risk assessment and mitigation

5. SUSTAINABILITY
   └── Will improvements persist?
   └── Institutionalization, not projectization
   └── Continuous improvement mechanisms

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

Pattern 1: The Public Value Framework

Public Value = Service Delivery + Legitimacy + Support

Service Delivery: What citizens receive (outputs, outcomes)
Legitimacy: Democratic mandate, rule of law, fairness
Support: Political, stakeholder, public backing

Strategic Triangle:
    Public Value
       /    \
      /      \
Legitimacy ─── Capacity
  & Support    & Support

Pattern 2: Implementation Gap Analysis

Policy on paper ≠ Policy in practice

Gap sources:
- Capability: Skills, resources, systems inadequate
- Motivation: Incentives misaligned; resistance to change
- Opportunity: Constraints block action

Diagnostic questions:
- CAN they do it? (capability)
- WILL they do it? (motivation)
- MAY they do it? (opportunity/authority)

Pattern 3: Stakeholder Coalition Mapping

Winning coalition needed for sustained reform

Map by:
- Interest alignment (high/low)
- Influence/power (high/low)
- Current position (support/oppose/neutral)

Strategy:
- Champions: Empower and resource
- Fence-sitters: Convert through benefits demonstration
- Opponents: Neutralize or accommodate if possible

Pattern 4: Results Chain Logic

INPUTS → ACTIVITIES → OUTPUTS → OUTCOMES → IMPACTS
  $      Services    Products   Short-term Long-term
         Delivered   Delivered  Changes    Goals

Manage for results, not just activities
Measure outcomes, not just outputs
