Public servants are confronted with the need to reflect the reality of the changing world. In past decades, managerial methods have begun to penetrate into public administration, which has gained the name of New Public Management . This approach has been criticized by part of both scholars and practitioners, because of the fact that it brings too many economic and managerial principles from the private sector. We think that New Public Management is still open to new challenges, but with emphasizing the values that are typical for public administration. The use of Corporate Performance Management using Sustainable Value methodology can be such challenge. The aim of paper is to introduce, modify and use Sustainable Value as a tool for Corporate Performance Management within New Public Management, for its use at regional level to measure the performance.
