Case Study 3: Organizational Change
The City of Columbus implemented Columbus*Stat to demon-
strate its commitment to transforming governments to be more
accountable and transparent as well as to create opportunities and
incentives to effectively and efficiently manage performance and
increase public involvement.
The basic steps the City of Columbus used to create a culture of performance man-
agement in a collaborative framework were the following:
1. Key stakeholders signed a formal agreement known as the Columbus Covenant
that defined a vision, mission, and goals (see page C-2 of Appendix C).
2. The mayor set the strategic direction based on input from key departments and
political imperatives.
3. Key departments responsible for delivering services established roles and
responsibilities for members of the Columbus*Stat team.
4. Selected departments meet with the mayor's Columbus*Stat Panel to confirm
priorities, discuss any changes in services or programs, set performance tar-
gets, develop appropriate performance measures and establish an effective
feedback loop to formalize regular monitoring and reporting.
5. Selected Departments collect data on select measures and work on a regular
schedule with designated Columbus*Stat analysts.
6. Data are analyzed for trends and concerns.
7. Information is shared at Columbus*Stat Panel meetings concerning trends, spe-
cific issues and measures.
