"Many performance management systems are extremely difficult to implement in small organizations because they require fiscal and human resources that simply aren’t available. Managing Results has been excellent in its willingness to customize its approach to implementing MFR in a way that makes it possible to reap the benefits of this strategic, results oriented management system within the resource and organizational constraints of a small jurisdiction.”
- Matthew Birnie, County Manager, Gunnison County, CO
"In Arvada, we committed to becoming a data driven, results oriented, customer focused and responsive organization. As we looked for a firm to help us start this journey, we found Managing Results.

"We worked at performance measurement for many years, but it was more about collecting data than measuring results. Managing for Results, which we call “Leading for Results” helped us focus on the results our customer receive.

-Jim Couch, Former City Manager (Retired), Oklahoma City, OK
“Marv and his team did an expert job of guiding Cannon Beach through its first strategic planning process. From the initial interviews to the final plan, Managing Results focused council and staff on the critical issues facing our community and developed a means to address them.

The Managing Results' methodology provided staff with clear direction to improve the delivery of services we offer now as well as a practical map to our ambitious future.”
- Brant Kucera, Former City Manager, Cannon Beach, OR
