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.
