Source: OCS slides for RPIC briefing Performance Management Task Force (PMTF) Charge: The Performance Management Task Force meetings are designed to coordinate national efforts to create and implement enhanced performance management tools and protocols for CSBG. There will be three meetings. Each meeting will take approximately three days and it is expected that each meeting will have a different focus. o The first meeting focused primarily on obtaining critical input regarding current performance management systems and recommendations for potential changes.
22
Performance Management Task Force (PMTF) Charge: The second meeting is expected to be used to obtain reactions from key stakeholders to proposed improvements to performance reporting. The third and final meeting will include presentation of a draft set of new performance management and reporting efforts, and discussion of roles and expectations for ongoing maintenance of any new approaches.

23
Performance Management Task Force (PMTF) First Meeting Overview: Various people in the Administration underscored the importance of developing tools to measure performance. o This is not just a CSBG matter. It cuts across all programs in the Federal government. Task Force participants from the Network noted that the Network has the ability to rise to this challenge and get the work done. o Timelines are tight! Throughout this process Urban Institute wants feedback from the regions on how to develop the performance management system and will be setting up groups to address these questions.
24
Performance Management Task Force (PMTF) First Meeting Overview: UI provided an environmental scan of seven Federal programs that are similar to CSBG in one or more respects, i.e., they may be block grants, serve low-income populations, etc. o The Task Force had good dialogue around the environmental scan and the principals/values of CSBG and what it means to be a CAA. Many points of view were expressed. o The scan indicated there is no perfect approach, only trade-offs in setting up a system. o The scan provided a context for looking at performance management, which we’ll discuss as part of “Next Steps.” Source: OCS slides for RPIC briefing

Gather information on five questions: 1.How specifically do CSBG dollars contribute to achieving the local eligible entities’ mission as a comprehensive service organization? Please provide three examples. 2.What information do local agencies currently use to assess the use and effectiveness of the CSBG dollars? Note: This does not have to be confined to formal data submitted for the CSBG-IS system and may include other information used executive directors and boards to guide decisions about the use of CSBG funds?

Gather information on five questions: 3.Aside from the funding available through CSBG what is the added value for local CSBG agencies of being designated as an eligible entity for CSBG? 4.Aside from funding, what are three 3-5 benefits of participation in the CSBG service network? 5.What other input would you like to provide about critical performance items that should be “measured” in the implementation of a new performance management system? What current reporting requirements are most useful and should be maintained? By January 16, send a summary of the region’s input to OCS RPIC Charge from UI/OCS: Source: OCS slides for RPIC briefing
