Government Technology Performance Summit 2003
September 15-19, 2003
Kellogg Conference Center at Gallaudet University
*Project still in development, Agenda subject to change*
Develop a Framework for Performance Planning & Management!
OMB has implemented rigorous guidelines for the business cases agencies submit for their IT programs. So far, the results have been disastrous. Only two of twenty five agencies submitted completely satisfactory business cases. The majority of problems arise from a lack of focus on agency planning. You will emerge from this timely event with the latest guidance from OMB on capital planning, as well as an understanding of new revisions to the Exhibit 300 process.
Achieve Program Performance & Comply with Presidential Mandates!
IT and e-government, like all five management reforms demanded by the PMA, must be reviewed and implemented using an integrated approach. Technology should be utilized as a strategic partner to improve program performance while augmenting the agency’s overall mission. This event focuses on how effective practices in IT can further the strategic goals of your agency.

In-house training - In-house training provides a customized, cost-efficient vehicle for educating your staff with a hands-on, educational forum that facilitates team-building and project-planning. PI in-house training is designed to meet the specific needs of the client. Instead of making the training match with “cookie-cutter” training, our in-house offerings are matched to the specific needs of the participants.

Free 1 hour review of your business case - The government-wide need for training on the exhibit 300 has inspired us to offer free 1 hour consultations to those agencies who are not sure how much work their business cases need. Expert evaluators will come to your agency and will walk through some of your current exhibit 300s with you and then provide you with their recommendations on how you can improve your business cases.
