Managing for Results: Agencies Have Elevated Performance Management Leadership Roles, but Additional Training is Needed : General Accounting Office (GAO) , April , 2013
From the report: “The designation of senior-level officials to key performance management roles with responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) has helped elevate accountability for performance management within federal agencies and ensure high-level involvement, according to officials GAO interviewed. The 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies have all assigned officials to the key management roles—chief operating officer, performance improvement officer (PIO), and goal leader—required under GPRAMA, according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the results of GAO’s PIO survey. PIOs GAO surveyed reported that most key officials were greatly involved in central aspects of performance management, such as agency quarterly performance reviews. PIOs GAO surveyed, and priority goal leaders GAO interviewed at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), reported they were supported in their responsibilities by their deputies and other staff. PIOs generally reported that their staff had competencies identified as relevant by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), such as reasoning, to a large extent, although PIOs reported that the competencies in the figure below were not as widespread among their staff as the other competencies."
