1. The ABCs of CIPMS (Continuous Improvement Performance Management System) (2008)
Authors: Vicki Trottier, Jette Cosburn
Collection: Learning Materials
The Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities introduced the concept of a Continuous Improvement Performance Management System (CIPMS) to Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills adult literacy delivery agencies in 2001. CIPMS is designed to create a cohesive set of policies and improved processes throughout the system so that programs can better work together to address client needs. This manual is designed to provide an overview of what CIPMS is, how it can be an effective process, how it is being used elsewhere, and how the Ministry envisions it being used in Literacy and Basic Skills agencies. It also includes sample tools and resources that can be used in your agency.
This manual includes five sections:
1 - Introduction
2 - CIPMS in Literacy and Basic Skills
3 - Using CIPMS
4 - Agency assessment
5 - Resources and appendices

Series: Literacy and basic skills agencies
Authors: Ministry of Training, Colleges & Universities
Collection: Learning Materials
This guide is intended to provide information for Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) funded agencies about what organizational processes need to be in place to implement a continuous improvement performance management system. To successfully implement such a system, an agency must have the organizational capacity to plan, track, organize, analyze and evaluate the results of its day to day operations. It does this to determine what needs to be changed to achieve the agency's intended results in the most efficient and effective manner.
This guide is organized into the following sections:
- Steps in the assessment process of organizational capacity
- Preparation & organization
- Tips on surveying clients, partners and stakeholders
- Step 1 – Understanding results
- The vital few
- Step 2 – Understanding cause

8. Labour-Management Relations in Canada: Trends and Impacts (2000)
VIEWPOINTS 2000
Series: VIEWPOINTS 2000
Authors: Canadian Labour and Business Centre
Collection: Research Materials
The health of the relationship between management and labour has a very real impact on the economic and social well being of all Canadians.

Still, the labour-management relationship can affect both policy and practices, with positive or negative consequences on the lives of workers and the performance of organizations.
The analysis of Viewpoints 2000 highlights several important findings with respect to labour-management relations in Canada.
