OMB Releases President ' s Management Agenda

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the President’s Management Agenda on 20 March 2018. The Agenda provides a broad framework to improve the federal government’s efficiency through modernization in key areas and is expected to guide agency reorganization plans that are supposed to become available in coming months. The Agenda defines a long-term plan that incorporates goals of successfully accomplishing missions, providing better services to Americans, and effectively managing taxpayer dollars. The plan describes “three key drivers of transformation” that the Administration will focus on to achieve modernization. These include, information technology modernization across the government, data accountability and transparency to hold agencies accountable for tax dollars, and developing a modern federal workforce. The Agenda establishes “Cross-Agency Priority” or CAP goals for each key area to be led by an interagency team of senior federal staff. Progress on these CAP goals can be tracked online on a quarterly basis at www.performance.gov/PMA.
