Performance Improvement and Review Branch

The Performance Improvement and Review (PIR) branch initiates, provides advice and leadership, and directs facilitation of public sector reform projects. This includes major agency structural reviews, shorter term performance improvement programs and change management and innovation initiatives commissioned by the Government.

The work of the branch targets strategic government service delivery improvement and involves the flexible deployment of multi-skilled project staff with a team based and project management capability, often across DPC Divisions, or in conjunction with other government agencies.
