8:30 - 9:45am: Performance 2.0: From Measurement to Management
Dashboards, Metrics and Transparency have become mainstream topics in Federal government offices around the country. But can we move beyond simply measuring and begin making better decisions? Performance 2.0 incorporates predictive scenario planning, social networking, and budget and resource integration. Yet without a cultural change and deeper leadership understanding and commitment, the promise of performance-based decision making remains out of reach for many organizations.
Jon Desenberg, the Policy Director at the Performance Institute, has worked with more than 150 Federal, State and Local agencies and instructs on planning and measurement for more than 4,000 government and non-profit employees annually. Jon will lead a discussion of his latest work, lessons learned, and the promise of performance in a new age of transparency at all levels.

10:00 - 11:00am: US Army Fort Stewart Measures Outcomes with BIRT Performance Scorecard
