- 4. Day One MONDAY, MAY 10, 2010 7:00 Registration and Continental Breakfast 8:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS Setting New Priorities: The Five Core Principles of the Obama Performance Management System In late October, the new Chief Performance Officer Jeffrey Zients testified before the Congressional Budget Committee on OMB’s emerging 4 recommendations and priorities for improving government performance. Having spent his time since confirmation listening to the concerns of government managers, Zients has crafted priorities that represent the focus needed for the greatest impact on government programs. Join us for this keynote address where we will explain OMB’s priorities and discuss how to move these strategies down to the tactical level. 9:00 Performance Information: Using Performance Goals and Measures to Set Priorities, Monitor Progress and Diagnose Problems A major complaint in many government agencies is information overload. How do you make sense out of all the data coming in and then use it to make a difference? In the past, too much emphasis has been placed on producing performance information to comply with a checklist of requirements instead of using it to drive change. This must change. Federal managers and employees at all levels must use performance goals and measures to set priorities, monitor progress and diagnose problems. They must learn from practices that work and those that do not. During this session you will learn how to use goals and measures and measures to motivate your workforce and show program results.

Day Two TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2010 7:00 Registration and Continental Breakfast 8:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS Where Transparency Meets Engagement: Using Measurement and Accountability to Develop a Motivated Workforce The most important resource for any organization is its people. Even well-planned initiatives can fail if not for the dedication of those responsible for implementation and execution. While vital to success, managing and motivating people remains one of the most difficult tasks for even the most experienced of leaders. Managers can achieve goals by effectively communicating strategy and managing results through measures, but a cultural shift from measuring and rewarding effort to results challenges all involved. In this keynote address, we help you gain buy-in from managers and staff on how connecting performance management and employee engagement can build a motivated workforce and 7 create a more effective government. 9:00 CHOOSE FROM TRACK C, D OR ASK THE EXPERT TRACK C: Program Performance TRACK D: People Performance ASK THE EXPERT SESSION Linking Agency Strategic Assessing Workforce Show Me The Measures: Is Goals and Measurements Competencies, Skill Gaps Your Agency Developing the to Units, Programs and and Meeting Future Most Relevant and Meaningful Individuals Requirements Performance Measures? • Discover why traditional strategic • Identify competency gaps that planning processes often fall short need to be closed to meet strategic of delivering results agency objectives • Identify the characteristics and • Manage employees’ competencies WHAT IS requirements of successful strategic plans, planning processes and by understanding and differentiating what your agency Ask the Expert implementation needs strategically, operationally At this year’s Government Performance • Create performance measures that and tactically Summit we provide each attendee cascade down to specific programs • Acquire, retain, and transfer the opportunity to sit down for small and goals employee competencies roundtable consultation sessions with performance management experts.

Workshops WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 2010 Post-Conference Workshops are practical, supplementary application sessions that incorporate and review tools, techniques and methods presented during the Government Performance Summit. Participants will obtain a further understanding of how to use newly-acquired tools and cutting-edge strategies. Through group exercises and scenario-based learning, you will walk away with the expertise needed for immediate and practical application. Enrollment space is limited, so register early to reserve your seat. 8:00 Workshop Registration and Continental Breakfast 8:30 WORKSHOP A Strategic Planning in Government The quality of an agency’s strategic plan sets the course for its performance management efforts from that point on. 10 Implementing a strong strategic plan that clearly defines the mission and goals of your organization is the first step to improving performance. By aligning your organization’s performance goals with your strategic plan, you will be able to validate your program’s existence to all stakeholders and ensure tangible results for your agency. By the end of this workshop attendees will be able to: • Discover why traditional strategic planning processes often fall short of delivering results • Identify the characteristics and requirements of successful strategic plans, planning processes and implementation • Clearly communicate agency priorities and goals to all stakeholders • Develop results-oriented strategies to achieve departmental outcomes • Appoint initiative owners to keep strategic initiatives on track 12:00 Lunch Break 1:00 WORKSHOP B Program Evaluation in Government The new administration has made it clear that all departments and agencies of the federal government will be held accountable for their performance. President Obama has promised to eliminate poor performing programs and to evaluate every agency and every office based on how well they serve the American taxpayer. In addition to performance measures, program evaluations hold a unique role in the process of performance management. In this workshop attendees will review a model for measuring and managing program performance that goes from setting the goals and objectives through using the results to manage change. The model will help you ensure that you are measuring the right things in a way that will provide meaningful feedback. We will discuss the role of program evaluation in this process as well as describe the purpose of program evaluation and the various types of evaluations that can be implemented. By the end of this workshop attendees will be able to: • Specify the various types of program evaluation • Articulate the purpose of a program evaluation • Understand the differences between various program evaluation designs • Identify program success or failure in terms of programmatic, departmental and agency goals
