Become a Certified Government Performance Manager
To ensure professional success, you must continually expand your skills and education. The bar has been raised in government
agencies and organizations, and managers want to hire, promote and work with the most skilled individuals possible.
To address this need, The Institute offers a Certificate in Government Performance Management. Attend the three “core” courses
and an additional three “elective” courses based on the topics that meet your agency’s unique needs. The skills you acquire will
then be used to complete a “capstone project” on a particular issue that you and our department are facing, which will then be
evaluated by an expert member of our staff.
For more information about certification, please contact Melvin Hall at 202-739-9630, Melvin.Hall@PerformanceInstitute.org or

12. 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 services and
taxpayer transparency, the Institute uses a best-practices foundation to deliver the most
effective and tested methodologies for improving performance.
