The Presidents Management Agenda sets forth a
strategy for ensuring that the Federal
Government is well-run and results-oriented

• Strategic Management of Human Capital
• Restructure agencies to be citizen-centered
• Adopt IT to capture employees knowledge and
  skills
• Acquire and develop talent and leadership
• Competitive Sourcing
• Simplify and improve procedures to evaluate
  public and private sources
• Better publicize activities subject to
  competition
• Ensure senior-level agency attention to
  competition
• Improved Financial Performance
• Baseline erroneous payments and establish goals
  for their reduction
• Ensure federal financial systems produce accurate
  and timely information
• Expanded Electronic Government
• Simplify and unify around citizen needs
• Support projects that offer performance gains
  across agency boundaries
• Maximize interoperability and minimize redundancy

Extensive evidence points to the duplication,
overlap and gaps in critical Government functions

• ? 50 agencies implement Federal drug control
  strategies
• ? 29 agencies administer 541 clean air, water,
  and waste programs
• ? 23 agencies administer 200 programs that
  provide assistance to countries formerly part of
  the Soviet Union
• ? 13 agencies administer 342 Federal economic
• development-related programs
• ? 12 agencies administer more than 35 food safety
  laws

E-Government is critical to the success of a
citizen-centered, results-oriented Government

• E-Government is a key enabler to achieve success
  in
• Human capital
• Competitive sourcing
• Financial management
• Budget and performance integration

Page 6

Best Practices in E-Business point to two methods
for citizen-centered Government
The Vision an order of magnitude improvement
in the federal governments value to the citizen
with decisions in minutes or hours, not weeks or
months

• HOW Unify Infrastructure
• Aggregate information around customer
• Unify access to data stores (bridge)
• Collect the data once (requires agreement on data
  definitions)
• Integrate customer interface
• Integrate delivery channels (build one-stop e.g.
  students.gov)
• Monitor and measure (define success and measure)

• HOW Simplify Process
• Simplification starts by defining and building
  and integrated delivery channels to drive
  unification.
• Simplification should start with unifying access
  to data stores
• For e-Gov to succeed, simplification must start
  by the time you collect the data

Page 7
8
E-Government Unification and simplification must
be done around citizen needs

• For individuals
• Build easy to find, one-stop shops for citizens
  creating single points of easy entry to access
  high-quality governmental services
• For businesses
• Reduce the burden on businesses through the use
  of Internet protocols, simplifying interactions,
  and consolidating redundant reporting
  requirements
• For government agencies
• Make it easier for states and localities to meet
  reporting requirements, while enabling better
  performance measurement and results (e.g.,
  grants)
• Internal efficiency and effectiveness
• Reduce costs for Federal Government
  administration by using best practices in areas
  such as supply chain management, financial
  management, and knowledge management

opportunities to collaborate, consolidate, and
leverage IT investments

Analysis of agencies FY 2004 budget submissions
against the BRM, Version 1.0 revealed
multi-billion dollar consolidation opportunities
across the Federal Government

• Consolidate and migrate agency investments to the
  24 E-Government initiatives
• Identify overlaps and leverage assessment on IT
  spending for common functions
• Financial Management
• Human Resources
• Data and Statistics Development
• Monetary Benefits
• Criminal Investigations
• Public Health Monitoring
• Leverage enterprise licensing and buy at
  commercial benchmarks or less

OMB has developed and issued the draft Business
Reference Model, Version 2.0 for Federal agency
review and comment
DRAFT Business Reference Model Version 2.0
LEVEL 1 the purpose of government (what are the
performance goals)
LEVEL 2 the process used (how does the
government accomplish these goals)
LEVEL 3 the management and support functions
necessary to run the government and its programs
Page 16
17
Within the revised BRM, the new Mode of Delivery
layer and the revised and renamed Services for
Citizens layer should be thought of collectively

• What is the purpose of government?
• What outcomes is the government hoping to
  achieve?

Services for Citizens
LEVEL 1

• What mechanisms does the government use to
  achieve these outcomes?
• What are the outputs of these processes?

Mode of Delivery
LEVEL 2
With this construct in place, all Government
programs, agencies, mission-related IT systems,
etc., can be mapped to both a Service for
Citizens and a Mode of Delivery
Page 17
18
The Draft BRM, Version 2.0 aligns with three
critical management frameworks and improvement
initiatives

• The Presidents Budget and Performance
  Integration Initiative and the FEA Performance
  Reference Model
• The revised model differentiates between the
  purpose of the government and mechanism/process
  used to deliver services to the customer
• This distinction aligns with the Performance
  Reference Models focus on outcomes (purpose of
  government) and outputs (mechanism/process)
• OMBs Budget Function Classifications
• These classifications provide a similar
  functional description of Federal activities
• JFMIPs New Framework for Financial Management
  Systems
• Work on ensuring this alignment is ongoing, and
  with JFMIPs assistance, the final version of the
  BRM, Version 2.0 will fully reflect the new
  framework

While this Line of Business is considered a
support service for the management of the
government, it does represent the purpose of
the governments central management
organizations, and can therefore be thought of
with the Level 1 Lines of Business to facilitate
certain analyses.

The PRM will help agencies identify the
performance improvement opportunities that will
drive Government transformation
Page 25
26
The PRM supports the Presidents Budget and
Performance Integration initiative, which is
taking two approaches to strengthen the link
between budget dollars and results.
Page 26

The PRM structure is designed to clearly
articulate Line of Sightthe cause and effect
relationship between inputs, outputs and outcomes
