Dear Government Professional:

Performance measurement is the backbone of a successful, innovative and high-performing government organization. Using performance measures to track past performance and forecast future outcomes is critical to success. Performance measurement helps to clarify people's responsibilities, forms a sound, logical basis upon which to allocate resources, and ensures a results-oriented focus for the entire organization.

When you attend "Performance Measurement for Government," this February in Washington, DC, you will explore and discuss best practices in managing for results and integrating performance measures and budget processes.

WHY CAN'T YOU MISS THIS CRITICAL CONFERENCE?

Tying performance measures to the budget of your organization requires efficient systems, a dedication to high-caliber performance and an understanding that measurement fuels your strategic plan. It's difficult, but well worth the effort. When your strategic efforts are aligned with your measurement processes and budget, your organization's success in producing results your customers care about increases. Without measurement, you cannot correct mistakes you may not even know you are making. A budget integrated with performance measurement is crucial to achieving high performance and showing taxpayers what they are getting for their money.

Increasingly, the public is calling for greater government accountability. It is crucial you learn how to stay on track and link performance to resources and results. Agencies that have developed good performance measures have a greater chance of showing how much "bang for the buck" they can get.

HOW WILL THIS CONFERENCE HELP YOU & YOUR AGENCY?
