The Performance Institute and IBM invite you to a webcast:
“We can no longer afford to sustain the old ways when we know there
are new and more efficient ways to getting the job done.”
– PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
The President has set a goal to eliminate wasteful redundancy in the federal government by asking his Cabinet members to make $100
million in collective cuts to their budgets. With the increased emphasis on eliminating programs that don’t work, government leadership
must re-think old ways of doing things, and begin to look toward the future. Obama has pledged to eliminate ideological performance
goals, replacing them with specific goals based on congressional intent and feedback from government program participants.
Join The Performance Institute and IBM Cognos as we explore how we will reach this goal. We’ll also discuss how agencies can
develop new and efficient ways to manage their budgets and fund programs.
Specifically, you’ll obtain a better understanding of how to:
• Utilize performance management to turn strategy into action • Align performance goals with your organization’s mission
• Set budgetary priorities that align with taxpayer expectations • Use innovation to drive performance
