Dear IT Professional in the Canadian Government,

 

You need to prepare.  To equip your agency with the best practices in strategic IT performance management, you need to attend the 2003 Summit on Performance Measures for IT and e-Government, being hosted by the Performance Institute at the Delta Ottawa Hotel and Suites in Ottawa, Ontario on May 14-15, 2003.  This summit includes two full days of interactive training sessions and workshops that will provide innovative strategies and practical solutions to the challenges you face as an IT manager.

 

The concept of results-based e-government is one of which Canadian government IT managers are well aware.  IT managers are constantly asked to produce more results with ever tighter budgets; and agencies are under increased scrutiny to demonstrate how electronic government enables progress toward agency objectives, strategic goals and statutory mandates.  Reporting requirements demand that agencies link resources to results in order to justify IT expenditures and implement tangible performance measures for e-Gov projects.

 

Stay Ahead of New Legislation and Mandates!

 

Take advantage of best practice IT management and performance measurement to ensure that you and your agency stay ahead of the curve, anticipating and meeting emerging mandates and requirements.  Build a strategic performance framework that will incorporate your program and performance goals and provide you with the accurate concrete performance data that you can use and report.

Measures that Make a Difference!  Strategies that Produce Results!

This conference will provide you with:

  • A framework to create a dynamic government IT strategy

  • Techniques which will allow you to judge the effectiveness of your IT investments and plan for long-term success

  • Strategies vital for merging your agency’s presence and mission with goals and the architecture of developing e-government

Not only will you develop new insights to IT strategy and determine the usefulness of performance measurements to your long-term goals, you will take home a series of best practices for creating a more efficient more effective online presence. 

 

I hope that you’ll join us at this forum as we bring together IT managers from throughout Canada to explore new standards of excellence in IT and e-Government.  Space will be limited at this event, so be sure to sign up soon to ensure that your agency is well-represented.  For more information and to register, please call 1-703-894-0481 or visit us online at www.performanceweb.org.

 

I look forward to seeing you in May!

 

Sincerely,
