Federal Eye: Zients Gives the Public Sector Some Love

Addressing concerns that he lacks familiarity with the public sector, President Obama’s nominee to serve as the nation’s first chief performance officer acknowledged today that his business background has not blessed him with all the solutions necessary to tweak government management and recruitment plans. “I very much recognize and appreciate that government is different fromRead… Read more »

If it Matters, Measure It (and share the metrics!)

This blog entry originally appeared at Reach The Public. One of my first mentors who ran a region of what was then called Ameritech (a baby bell in the midwest), had a saying, “If you value it, measure it.” The larger the organization, the more this holds true. In government, tracking results and sharing resultsRead… Read more »

That’s in addition to an April order for more than 3,000 hybrids, or vehicles that use a combination of gasoline and electric batteries. Before all those carsRead… Read more »
