In my view, improving government performance comes down to the ability of the agency to perform the fundamentals of performance measurement with quality and consistency. This article, like others, reinforces that agencies who are effective and efficient, have developed the right leadership and team to implement a business model which pursues the fundamental of organizational effectiveness - goals, performances and most importantly, an implementation plan to continually improve based upon current data results. There is no magic bullet - just a sound business model that continually improves based on current information. Easier said than done - but this still reinforces that fundamentals go along way in government (and business).
