National Center for Public Performance

The National Center for Public Performance (NCPP) at Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School is dedicated to empowering public and nonprofit organizations through expert consulting and training.

Established in 1974 by Marc Holzer, PhD, NCPP has been a leader in performance measurement and management for decades, evolving from a research center into a consulting organization that delivers strategic solutions to enhance operational efficiency, communication, and policy execution within the public sector.

Our team of professionals provides guidance in areas such as performance management, strategic planning, communication strategy, AI integration, digital transformation, and much more. We work with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions across the globe, helping them strengthen their operations and better serve their communities.

Suffolk’s unique location, along with its interdisciplinary faculty and network in business, public policy, and law, provides a strong platform for the National Center for Public Performance to deliver impactful consulting and performance improvement solutions for the public sector.
