MATURE APPROACH [2 records]

Record 1 2011-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Control
  • Public Sector Budgeting
  • Federal Administration
  • Taxation
DEF

A management reform which is about the sound management of resources and effective decision making.

CONT

Modern comptrollership will provide managers with integrated financial and non-financial performance information, a mature approach to risk management, appropriate control systems, and a shared set of values and ethics.

CONT

Modern comptrollership in one of six priorities that will contribute to delivering on the government’s commitments (citizen focus, values, results and responsible spending). In addition to modern comptrollership, the government has identified five other priorities. They include citizen-centred service delivery, Government of Canada on-line, improved reporting to Parliament, program integrity and development of an exemplary workplace.

CONT

Modern comptrollership will lead to integrated performance information, mature risk management, rigourous stewardship and improved accountability. The anticipated end results depend on strategic leadership, motivated people, and shared values and ethics.

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôle de gestion
  • Budget des collectivités publiques
  • Administration fédérale
  • Fiscalité
DEF

Réforme de gestion qui vise l'efficacité dans la gestion des ressources et la prise de décisions.

CONT

La fonction de contrôleur moderne va intégrer l'information financière et non financière sur le rendement destinée aux gestionnaires et leur fournir une approche évoluée de la gestion des risques, des systèmes de contrôle appropriés ainsi qu'un ensemble commun de valeurs et de principes d'éthique.

CONT

La fonction de contrôleur moderne est l'une des six priorités qui contribueront à la concrétisation des engagements du gouvernement (orientation sur les citoyens, valeurs, résultats et responsabilité en matière de dépenses). En plus de la fonction de contrôleur moderne, le gouvernement a établi cinq autres priorités, notamment la prestation des services axée sur les citoyens, l'initiative «le Gouvernement en direct», l'amélioration des rapports au Parlement, l'intégrité des programmes et la création d'un milieu de travail exemplaire.

CONT

La fonction de contrôleur moderne permettra l'intégration de l'information sur le rendement, la gestion du risque évoluée, la gérance rigoureuse et la meilleure reddition de comptes. Les résultats ultimes seront fonction du leadership stratégique, des gens motivés, et des valeurs et éthique communes.

Subject field(s)
  • Botany
  • Silviculture
CONT

The stands of juvenile trees don’t need to be spaced the same distance that mature trees require, because there is an optimum spacing which encourages natural pruning of lower branches. Such natural pruning is a desirable energy saver for the land owner. Also, conifers have a growth habit built in, called geotrophism, which is what makes a tree grow vertically rather than just meandering crookedly up to its finished height. Using the force of geotrophism to advantage, we may just crowd our trees just enough to keep them reaching higher than a specimen tree with its bushy branching and its severly bushy habit. All this doesn’t give you a formula to work with though, so try this approach. You should thin most stands of juvenile age to intermediate age trees to about eight feet apart. Later, as the trees mature, they could be spaced even farther to as much as twelve feet apart.

CONT

The objective of this study was to describe the different morphological gradients being used as the basis for the development of the shape of the stem system in young forest-grown 7-year-old beeches ... Three simple morphogenetic gradients explain the developmental dynamics of their overall stem system ... The third one is characterized by a gradual reduction in annual growth rate as well as of the branching angle of the lowest axes of the tree, indicating their decline and their imminent elimination by natural pruning.

  • Botanique
  • Sylviculture
CONT

L'élagage naturel se fait mieux quand les arbres ont poussé à l'état serré, mais certaines essences ne s'élaguent pas naturellement ou s'élaguent très mal (ex. Douglas); il est alors nécessaire de couper les branches basses en pratiquant l'élagage artificiel.

CONT

Cette étude a pour objectif de mettre en évidence, chez de jeunes hêtres forestiers âgés de 7 ans, les différents gradients morphologiques servant de base à l'élaboration de la forme de leur système caulinaire [...] Trois gradients morphogénétiques simples rendent compte de la dynamique de développement de leur système caulinaire global [...] Le troisième se traduit par la réduction graduelle du taux d'accroissement annuel et du degré de ramification des axes les plus bas dans l'arbre et annonce leur déclin et leur disparition prochaine par élagage naturel.
