Government Performance Dashboard
A government performance dashboard is a visual, regularly updated display of an agency's key performance indicators against targets, designed to make results visible at a glance and to drive a disciplined cycle of review and action. The dashboard is rarely an end in itself: its power comes from the management routine around it — the CompStat and CitiStat 'stat' tradition of frequent, data-driven accountability meetings pioneered in New York policing and Baltimore city government. Robert Behn's work on why and how governments measure performance underpins the discipline, and national platforms such as the U.S. performance.gov institutionalise public dashboards of agency priority goals.
