Reimagine How We Align Federal Missions with What Matters Most

How might we break down silos between mission goals and mission support? How can we uncover duplicate efforts across agencies before wasting time and resources? How could we make it easier to track progress toward mandates like the Evidence Act, GPRA, and cross-agency priority goals?

Metrics That Matter

Background

Metrics provide a quantitative measure or assessment that can be used for comparing and/or tracking the performance of an organization, entity, project, or program. All across the Federal government, Agencies are continually gathering and reporting metrics for all sorts of Federal mandates, Agency efforts, initiatives, and so forth. However, not all metrics are meaningful, nor do they represent usable data that actually impacts organizational change.
