Measuring Performance: Linking Money To Mission4Good.org
In the mission-oriented nonprofit world, it can sometimes be difficult to get your team to focus on the relationship between money coming in and the organization’s ability to effectively deliver programs and services to its constituents. While top-line measures are exciting they can also be distracting and counterproductive if they are not properly accounted for and effectively presented. Peeling back the covers on your finance organization can help your team, executive director, staff and board members truly understand your financial situation and see how finances directly impact programs. Financial operations reviews deliver insight. Reviews help organizations move beyond budgets and expenses into staffing, policies and processes. You will learn…
• The 5 “must ask” questions
• The 3 reports you should study
• The secrets of financial management
• How to determine financial viability of new programs and link money with mission

What ISO Management Systems can learn from Balanced Scorecard?PECB
Balanced Scorecard is a Strategy Management System developed by Professors Kaplan and Norton. It is probably the most comprehensive system/tool in the modern world. It allows an organization balance its Strategy across 4 perspectives (Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning and Growth Perspectives). It further lets an organization break down each of these 4 perspectives based on 4 criteria which are Objectives, Measures, Target and Initiatives. There is a lot that ISO Implementers and Auditors need to learn from a Balanced Scorecard that will help in better delivering ISO engagements. This webinar will take a critical look at what is Balanced Scorecard and what ISO Consultants need to know to about it.
Main points covered:
• What is a Balance Scorecard?
• How Balance Scorecard allows organization to balance its Strategy across 4 perspectives (Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning and Growth Perspectives)
• How an organization breaks down each 4 perspective based on 4 criteria (Objectives, Measures, Target and Initiatives)

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

review
• Limited in vision of value
• No incentive to reduce costs
9. #FUELGOOD18
Zero-based Budgeting

and priorities
• Detects over budgeting
Cons
• Difficult and time consuming
• Requires expertise
• Creates a sense of uncertainty
10. #FUELGOOD18

• Organization provides stakeholders with as much
influence as possible
• Community votes on proposals to fund
11. #FUELGOOD18
Participatory Budgeting
Pros
• Democratic
• Strengthen relationship between
community and governing body
• Transparency and accountability
Cons
• Time for participation
• Biased to more articulate
groups
• Areas of high level diversity
• Lack of control
12. #FUELGOOD18
Activity-based Budgeting
• Allocate financial resources to activities that
see the greatest return (in the form of
increased revenues)
• Identify and fund high value activities, cut
back on low value activities
• Revenues generated are allocated directly to
the unit responsible for the activity
13. #FUELGOOD18
Activity-Based Budgeting
Pros
• Units have direct control of
activities
• Creates incentives
• Continued increase in revenue
Cons
• Requires time and resources
• Logistically difficult for
cross-department programs
• Neglects non-revenue
generating activities
14. #FUELGOOD18
Budgeting for Outcomes
• Budgeting at the organization is based on
prioritizing programs and services that are most
important to the public
• Uses performance measurement to evaluate if a
program is producing results
• Form of Performance-based Budgeting
• Considered a best practice by GFOA
15. #FUELGOOD18
Budgeting for Outcomes
Pros
• Reflects stakeholder priorities
• Efficient, transparent and
innovative
• Collaboration between
departments
Cons
• Requires a lot of effort and
time
• Organization must undergo
substantial change
17. #FUELGOOD18
Performance-based Budgeting
• PBB’s goal is to improve efficiency and
effectiveness of public expenditure, by linking
the funding of public sector organizations to the
results they deliver. Can also improve
prioritization of expenditures.
• Uses systematic performance information (i.e.,
indicators, evaluations, program costings, etc.)
to make this connection.
• PBB cannot begin until a system of performance
measurement has been instituted.
18. #FUELGOOD18
PBB is a Management Tool
• Performance budgets focus on missions, goals,
and objectives to explain why money is being
spent and provide a way to allocate resources
to achieve specific results
• PBB is intended to be a management tool for
program improvement, not a “carrot and stick”
methodology used to “punish” departments for
not meeting goals
19. #FUELGOOD18
Performance-Based Budgeting
Pros
• Cost alignment to strategic
objectives
• Greater accountability and
comprehensive view of each dept
• Classification consistency
• Increased transparency
Cons
• Requires specificity to
operate efficiently
• Time consuming to review and
discuss
• Assumes accurate and valid
performance data
• Different views of what’s
important
20. #FUELGOOD18
Principles for PBB
1. Establish broad goals to guide government decision-making
2. Develop approaches to achieve goals
3. Develop a budget with approaches to achieve goals
4. Evaluate performance and make adjustments

PBB: Organization Excuses
1. We’re funded by state/federal, so it
doesn’t matter what we do.
2. We don’t know what performance looks
like yet since we just reorganized.
3. We’ve always done it this way,
everything is just fine as it is.
4. We’re too busy getting REAL work
done to bother with this.
5. We need more staff, more money, more
time, more (fill in the blank) to do this.
6. We can’t target outcomes; they’re too
specific.
7. We can’t measure what we do.
8. You’ll misinterpret any information we
give you.
9. We can’t be accountable because we
have no control over anything.
10. We’re different. This shouldn’t apply to
us. We need an exemption.

Transitioning to
Performance-based Budgeting
Until a performance measurement system can be fully implemented, an
interim solution may help set the groundwork:
• An explanation of the department’s overall goals
• An explanation of what the department has accomplished in the past
year
• An explanation of what the department intends to accomplish in the
coming year
• An explanation as to what is different from last year in the proposed
budget and why
• A compliant budget showing past year budget expenditures
33. #FUELGOOD18
Key Considerations
• Manage accuracy by developing meaningful, valid and reliable
performance indicators
• Establish the link between resources and results early and
maintain that link through budget development, appropriation, and
budget control processes

There’s an element of performance involved in that you are measuring “cost per activity”.
This is a more conceptual methodology rather than how the budget is structured (for example. Division > Dept > CC or Program > Services).
Activities – departments generating tuition, fees, etc.
