ABOUT The Performance Institute
Called “the leading think tank in performance measurement for
government” on OMB’s ExpectMore.gov, The Performance Institute has
been a leader in Performance Management training and policy since the
2000 administration transition. As part of the Government Performance
Coalition, a group of good government organizations, the Institute worked
in 2000 to deliver recommendations to the then new administration on
what would become the President’s Management Agenda.
In 2010, the Institute is leading Innovations in Government: From Transition
to Transformation, or InnoGOV.org, a collection of forums, research
and recommendations to bring insight and transformation to the federal
government. The goal of InnoGOV.org is to centralize the importance
of performance, accountability and transparency in government and to
disseminate the leading best practices to government managers.
The Performance Institute has published several research reports regarding
performance management initiatives and trains over 10,000 government
managers per year on performance-based topics. Dedicated to improving
citizen services and taxpayer transparency, the Institute uses a best-
practices foundation to deliver the most effective and tested methodologies
for improving performance.
