Federal Ideation Programs: Challenges and Best Practices
Thursday, October 31st, 2013 - 14:30
Ideation platforms are modern tools predicated on an old adage, “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Though that proverb has been widely accepted, collecting and synthesizing the knowledge of “all of us” into actionable next steps has been a daunting task. The rewards for doing so, however, are potentially very high, especially for large organizations in both the private and public sector.

Promises, Promises
Monday, February 6th, 2012 - 10:52
The world is full of ideas for government that brim over with potential – at least according to their supporters. Relatively few of these actually see the light of day. Sometimes there’s not enough money; sometimes political opposition stops them in their tracks; sometimes they simply lack a champion with sufficient power to see them through to fruition.

There are many more positive examples of performance improvement & accountability than mentioned in Barrett & Greene's article. See www.AuditorRoles.org for roles & practices government auditors have been playing to improve performance & accountability. Note that the "Auditor Roles in Performance Measurement Project" at that site does not only has examples of performance auditing of specific programs, but also auditing the underlying performance management systems (or lack of same) that government agencies use to manage performance. And also to audit the relevance & reliability of performance measures & data.
