Category: Professions and Industries, IT Management

Overview Fiscal pressures are forcing government agencies at all levels to adopt performance management - a focus on accountability for outputs and outcomes rather than cries for higher inputs (i.e., more budget funding and employees). The message is clear: better, faster, cheaper - hold the line on taxes, but don't let service slip. There is a need to organize around results, not departments. Performance Management should be a robust integration of methodologies such as balanced scorecards, strategy maps, budgets, Activity-Based Costing (ABC), forecasts and resource capacity planning. Most people who better understand what PM is conclude that it is obvious that there organization should proceed forward to achieve the full vision of PM - enterprise intelligence.
