Webinar this Thursday -- "Government 2.0: Increase Transparency and Accountability with StimulusScorecard"

Join us this Thursday, June 25th at 2pm EDT for a free webinar on Government 2.0 and StimulusScorecard.

‘Government 2.0' involves using web tools to increase transparency and thus improve the effectiveness and openness of government. In this webinar, we’ll discuss a tool called ActiveStrategy StimulusScorecard, which enables governments to leverage the web to aid in strategic planning, performance management, and Stimulus reporting.

The first round of ARRA (Stimulus) reports are due October 10th, and require that a “full picture” of the projects be presented so that taxpayers have the ability to track and monitor how the funds are being spent. During the webinar, we’ll review the latest reporting requirements released by OMB and discuss why waiting to set up your reporting system until the full extent of requirements are published in August might create problems. StimulusScorecard is a Balanced Scorecard-based, centralized collection system for your Stimulus project data that you can use now to ensure that your programs stay on schedule and on budget and to track accountability for every stage of the work. And you can use the data you’ve collected to populate OMB’s reports when the time comes.

During a live demo of the application, we’ll show you example Stimulus project scorecards, as well as how to share your data with the public.

Presentation topics:
• Review of the latest Stimulus reporting requirements
• How a scorecard application makes data available for preemptive action on emerging problems
• How technology can keep critical data part of on-going operational decision making
• How StimulusScorecard can facilitate clear communication with the public on who is benefiting from projects and who is responsible for keeping project commitments
• Review of example Stimulus Project Scorecards
