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 Performance Coalition, a group of good government associations, the Institute worked in 2000 to deliver recommendations to the then-new administration on what would become the President’s Management Agenda. 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.

EVENT HOST

“Change and reform can’t just be election-year slogans. They must become fundamental principles of government.” PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Insight on the New Management Agenda“We can no longer afford to sustain the old ways when we know there are new and more effi cient ways to getting the job done,” said President Barack Obama. The theme of change has moved beyond the campaign to become the central motif of Obama’s presidency. One of the biggest changes Obama has promised to make is a fundamental reconfi guration of former President George W. Bush’s Management Agenda. Obama has pledged to eliminate ideological performance goals and replace them with goals Americans care about and that are based on congressional intent and feedback from those served by government programs. Although few would disagree with the reasoning, it is unclear how we will reach this goal. This Keynote will offer insights into Obama’s Management Agenda and what government managers and employees should expect moving forward.

Frank ReederFounder, The Reeder GroupMember of the OMB Transition Review Team

9:30

LEADERSHIP PANEL: Understand Federal Policy and Achieve Program ResultsThere is one major question looming at the start of an Administration: which policies and programs should be kept and which need to be modifi ed or even thrown out? Each administration leaves a legacy of performance mandates and policy outcomes for the next, but what does Obama need to do to achieve real improvement in federal policy and program outcomes? And more importantly, who is responsible for achieving these improvements? Is it up to senior offi cials and agency executives or is it up to the OMB? During this Leadership Panel, you will hear leading federal policy experts discuss concrete ways to achieve desired policy outcomes.

10:45 Break and Refreshments

11:00

SPOTLIGHT ON CONGRESS: Examine the Congressional Appropriations Process and Its Impact on Your Agency“No money should be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law” states the United States Constitution. In theory, appropriations are necessary to fund programs that keep Americans safe, educated and secure. But with a national defi cit approaching $1 trillion, are tax dollars really being put to their best use? Obama’s pledge to conduct a line by line review of the federal budget to seek programs that are not performing and to eliminate earmarks has been loud and clear, and its promise of eliminating waste has been aimed at Congress. There are new ideas and mandates on where and how government money will be spent and this session will explore the impact those policies will have on your agency.

1:00

Develop a Performance-Based Framework to Achieve Program OutcomesImproving government performance has been a key component of every president’s platform in recent history. With the creation of a Chief Performance Offi cer and White House “SWAT Team,” Obama has affi rmed his serious commitment to this promise. This goal of overall change cannot be achieved unless every government agency improves its own performance. This session will equip you with tools necessary to develop a performance-based framework to achieve results in your organization.

Understand why you should measure performance in your agency and how to communicate the information to new leadership

Develop a framework and a process for planning, management and evaluation

Illustrate the linkages between daily activities and outcomes

Dr. Richard BeckDirector, Offi ce of Planning and Performance ManagementActing Performance Improvement Offi cer, Department of the Interior

2:00

Apply an Objective Evaluation System to Measure SuccessEvery government agency is required to create and use a set of performance measures, but how can you be sure your agency is measuring the right things? This session will equip you with the knowledge to determine specifi c questions your agency’s program evaluation must answer and help you gather tools to choose the right program evaluation model for your government program.

Gather and review information about your organization’s mission, purpose, strategic plan, structure and staffi ng

Clarify the purpose of the evaluation and develop the key questions to be used throughout the process

Implement, monitor and modify the evaluation framework to accurately assess your program

3:00 Break and Refreshments

3:15

Use Performance Information to Make Better Management DecisionsYour agency has developed performance measures, implemented them and collected the data. Now you have pages and pages of performance information, but what do you do with it? More importantly, how do you report the data to taxpayers to be transparent and show results? During this session you will learn to use the data you have gathered to make performance-based management decisions.

Use measures to manage and motivate employees

Manage your budget based on performance measures

Develop performance reports to clearly show agency results to citizens

7:30 Continental Breakfast

8:30

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Examine the Role of the New Chief Performance Offi cer and White House “SWAT Team”In these troubled economic times, the importance of measuring the effectiveness of government programs has never been more necessary. The appointment of the nation’s fi rst Chief Performance Offi cer refl ects the centrality of reducing waste and ineffi ciency in Obama’s presidency. In this newly created role, Nancy Killefer will be responsible for streamlining the processes of all government programs and restoring the American public’s trust during this economic crisis. For too long, millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent on poorly performing programs because of lack of oversight and accountability. This newly created position aims to make government more effi cient, accountable and transparent.

9:30

LEADERSHIP PANEL: Discover New Ways to Overcome Budgetary Challenges and Fund Necessary ProgramsPresident Barack Obama has recently said it is time to rethink outmoded ways of doing things, that it’s time to embrace new systems and technologies and to take initiative in developing better practices. With the increased emphasis on eliminating programs that we don’t need and that don’t work, agency leaders cannot afford to sustain the old ways of doing things. Program directors need to step up and think of new and more effi cient ways to fund and manage the programs within their federal agency.

10:45 Break and Refreshments

11:00

SPOTLIGHT ON CONGRESS: Build Your Congressional Relationships With Clear Performance ReportingThe constant transitional leadership in the federal government is fi lled with instances of waste, mismanagement and lack of change and knowledge management. For history not to repeat itself, it will take cooperation between the new Administration and Congressional leadership, especially across party lines, to maintain and improve government performance. While Congress and the new Administration have a number of opportunities to provide their perspectives on specifi c performance issues and performance goals, opportunities also exist for Congress to enhance its focus to enable a more systematic assessment of key programs and performance goals. Agency executives must work to develop an effective strategy for obtaining and acting on congressional views on what to measure, how to measure it, and how to best present this information to a congressional audience.

Integrate Performance Measures With Your Program’s BudgetAlthough agencies have made progress in improving their operations in recent years, they often lack the basic management capabilities needed to address current and emerging demands. Many government programs were designed decades ago to address earlier challenges. Maintaining outmoded commitments and operations makes it more diffi cult to address the needs and demands of a changing world and nation. During this session you will learn why it is important to integrate your budget with well-defi ned outcome goals to validate your program’s existence.

Understand the relationship between budgetary resources and performance results

Learn to effectively communicate your agency’s programs and activities and how these contribute to its strategic goals

Align performance planning and budgeting to fully utilize performance measures to improve program management

Patrick KennedyUndersecretary for ManagementDepartment of State

2:00

Understand the Latest Data Collection and Performance Reporting GuidelinesOver the past 8 years, executive branch reform efforts have attempted to shift the focus of federal government management from a preoccupation with activities to the results, or outcomes, of those activities. However, despite having more performance measures available, federal managers reported no signifi cant increase in the use of performance information in management decision making.

Learn how to collect forward-looking information and identify the challenges in collecting consistent and reliable data

Analyze performance data to determine your course of action and align performance reports to agency decision making cycles

Create a system that enables citizens to monitor agency performance in the programs that directly refl ect their lives

3:00 Break and Refreshments

3:15

Communicate Your Program’s Mission to Stakeholders and New LeadershipIt has always been important to keep a clear line of communication between your organization and all stakeholders. However, with a new Administration that is promising a line-by-line review of the federal budget and numerous cuts to programs that are not performing, it is imperative that you communicate your program’s mission to the new leadership. You must ensure your program goals are aligned with your agency’s mission so that you can clearly communicate your program’s importance to all stakeholders.

Obtain the input of internal and external stakeholders to integrate your program with your agency’s mission

Identify all parties impacted by adopting new strategies and defi ne a way to engage stakeholders

Learn how to use analytical tools to increase the effectiveness and transparency of stakeholder activities

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPSFriday, May 8, 2009

Workshops are designed to be an interactive way for participants to learn the latest management techniques in order to implement them in their workplace. The workshops provide a platform to learn practical applications of current best practices. Space in these comprehensive workshops is limited, so be sure to reserve your seat today.

8:30 WORKSHOP A: Strategic Planning in Government The quality of an agency’s strategic plan sets the course for its performance management efforts from that point on. Implementing a strong strategic plan that clearly defi nes the mission and goals of your organization is the fi rst step to improving performance. By aligning your organization’s performance goals with your strategic plan, you will be able to validate your program’s existence to all stakeholders and ensure tangible results for your agency.

Discover why traditional strategic planning processes often fall short of delivering results

Identify the characteristics and requirements of successful strategic plans, planning processes and implementation

Clearly communicate agency priorities and goals to all stakeholders

Develop results-oriented strategies to achieve departmental outcomes

Appoint initiative owners to keep strategic initiatives on track

WORKSHOP B: Program Evaluation in GovernmentEvery government agency is required to measure and manage their program’s performance. However, it is what to do with the data you’ve collected that is often the diffi cult part. After implementing a performance measurement system for your program, there are several questions that every manager should ask: How sure are you that you are measuring the right things? Is your program performing activities that are not aligned with its mission? A strong program evaluation framework will ensure that your agency is accurately assessing all programs.

Learn to tailor evaluations to your agency’s needs to improve program performance every year

Outline a formal framework for conducting program evaluations

Demonstrate how measures relate to inputs, outputs, impacts and outcomes

Defi ne individual program success and the consequences of failure

Create a performance-based evaluation blueprint to assess program performance

One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of on-site trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you the opportunity to customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for your department or for an organization-wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by The Performance Institute will create an intimate training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within your organization.

CUSTOMIZATIONWe realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf solution.” While many training providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, The Performance Institute’s subject matter experts will work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact areas of need. The identifi cation of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors can address specifi c challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, The Performance institute also has the ability to accommodate organizational-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, The Institute has the capacity to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
