The Government Performance Logic Model
As the nation’s largest think tank dedicated exclusively to government performance, the Performance Institute works with government agencies to develop and use meaningful performance measures for nearly every operational function and every mission area in government. Through its work, the Institute has defined and refined a proven methodology for measuring government performance: The Logic Model. Applying the Logic Model approach to developing performance measures in government is a scaleable process. Instead of implementing the approach agency-wide from the beginning, many agencies start out with a specific program, budget justification, or performance-based contracting challenge. | Read More

The Performance Institute offers in-house training on its Government Performance Logic Model as well as specified training in and across all five government management initiatives. The Institute also offers training in all aspects of performance measurement for your organization across federal, state and local government. | Read More
