6. About 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 The Performance Institute
