Identifying Tools and Systems for Measuring the Success or Failure of Programs and Policies: Avoiding the “just compliance trap” Presentation – NATIONAL ACADEMY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

1:45pm – 2:20pm

The National Academy of Administration works with OMB and agency leadership to convene performance stakeholders from federal, state, private sector, non-profit and academic partners to improve the coordination of activities that accelerate the progress of evidence-based initiatives.  These conversations have addressed issues such as integrating and standardizing available data, institutionalizing the value of outcome-based activities throughout the program lifecycle and prioritizing key stakeholder relationships.

Hear how successful programs are identified and supported by:

• Maintaining common data standards with all levels of government and private sector partners
• Promoting the adoption of an Outcome-Based Accountability framework
• Utilizing resources dedicated to focusing on what works and designing creative strategies for funding successful programs
