Innovations in Government: From Transition to Transformation

The start of the Obama Administration brings with it unprecedented citizen expectations. The promises of the campaign and the mandate for change are a call to government managers for transformation. In this new economic landscape, it is innovations in government that will deliver results to the American People. InnoGOV.org is the platform for sharing these innovations.

A product of the leading good government groups, InnoGOV.org is a collection of forums, research and recommendations to bring insight and transformation to the federal government. Our goal is to centralize the importance of performance, accountability and transparency in government. Our task is to disseminate the leading best practices to government managers. Our promise is to help you build the capacity to serve and defend our citizens.

Change is here. Are you ready?

The InnoGOV.org agenda is built on the recommendations of The Government Performance Coalition.

The Coalition offers three major recommendations that should be familiar to Executive and Legislative branch officials:

• Lead by setting standards and demanding accountability with a performance-based framework that supports both the Executive and Legislative Branches.
• Strengthen organizational capacity to serve and defend the American public.
• Mandate the use of innovation and technology to revolutionize government business models in order to achieve citizen satisfaction.

InnoGOV.org is a Project of 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.
