The The Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Enhance Results-Based Management
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have revolutionized numerous industries and sectors, offering transformative potential for Results-Based Management (RBM). RBM is a management paradigm wherein organizations and government entities plan and assess the effectiveness of their projects, policies, or programs in achieving outcomes. Integrating AI and ML into RBM can significantly enhance outcomes, fostering data-driven and informed decision-making. AI and ML integration into RBM practices facilitates improved decision-making, resource optimization, accountability, and transparency. These technologies enhance RBM by enabling predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, task automation, customization, and scalability. The dynamic synergy of AI and ML extends beyond RBM into sectors like agriculture, public health, academia, and public administration. Despite their immense potential, AI and ML tools face challenges such as perpetuating inaccuracies and biases due to inherent biases or low data quality. Nevertheless, their application in RBM empowers organizations to plan better, monitor, evaluate, and refine projects and programs, optimizing resource allocation and performance. Ongoing research, ethical considerations, data quality, and accountability are essential priorities for harnessing the full benefits of AI and ML in RBM. Therefore, this research paper investigates the potential of AI and ML tools and technologies in improving results-based management. It comprehensively reviews existing literature, practical applications, and case studies to elucidate how AI and ML can enhance results-based management practices and contribute to better decision-making.
