Executive Breakfast featuring: �The Challenge of Achieving Organizational Efficiency in Government�

Synopsis: Government leaders are under significant pressure to reduce their overall cost of doing business. At the same time, they are expected to meet ambitious stakeholder performance objectives, take on new missions, or even transform their organizations to meet current business demands. Over the past decade, transformation, process improvement and efficiency initiatives within government have fallen short of expectations. This session will examine some of the causes of organizational inefficiency and identify proven approaches that can be taken to align your organization’s resources for current operational effectiveness and long-term success.

Who should attend: Government Leaders who are faced with:

Maximizing organizational efficiencies
Planning a re-organization, merger, or creating a startup
Improving mission performance
Navigating emerging or anticipated budget reductions
