8. 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 2009, 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.
