In a recent GovLoop survey, we asked our members – “What’s your biggest challenge?”
The #1 answer was the proverbial – “Do More with Less”
I’ve spent the last month working on a presentation entitled “Do More With Less” that I’ve now given to three different audiences where I’ve gotten some great feedback and questions
In this presentation, I argue that you can’t do more with less. Instead, you must either:
- Do More Differently
- Do Less with Less
I then dive deeply into 10 different opportunities using this approach:
- Rethink Learning
- No Cost, Self-Funding Model
- Increase Revenue
- Eliminate Unnecessary Services
- Rethink Offices
- Fire the C Team
- Rethink Service Delivery
- Eliminate Unnecessary Processes
- Focus on Big Impact / Cut the Rest
- Rethink Procurement
I’ve attached the full presentation below

The “fire the C team” item caught my eye. Some federal senior executives seem to regard government jobs as a kind of welfare benefit, theirs to disburse as they see fit. This is the real barrier to be overcome.
