Performance Work Statements Workshop
Based on a series of legislative acts and the changing perspective and emphasis in Congress, trying to achieve stronger performance is not merely “nice to have”, but becoming the modus operandi for agency programs. Yet, doing a better job of defining and measuring performance has been an “eternal” challenge in federal activities. Given the mandate to develop and implement the “pieces” for effective performance management, this two-day workshop will create synergy as proof positive that performance management can work and work better. Attend and learn a step by step approach you can use to get both stakeholder buy in and performance you and your organization requires. Live examples, case studies and best practices will enable accountability to increase among the contract, program, strategic planning, investment, budget and enterprise architecture domains.
