Budgeting for Outcomes: Setting Priorities and Measuring Results.
March 2005
“Budgeting for Outcomes”, a process created by David Osborne, Peter Hutchinson and the Public Strategies Group, promises to give citizens the “results they want at a price they are willing to pay.” David Osborne, author of “The Price of Government: Getting the Results We Need in a Time of Permanent Fiscal Crisis” talks about setting the price of government; setting the community's priorities for government; setting the price of each priority; developing a purchasing plan for each priority; and negotiating performance agreements with the chosen providers. Panelists include Fontayne Holmes, City Librarian of Los Angeles; Molly Raphael, Director of Multnomah County Library; and Jan Sanders, Director of the Spokane Public Library. Mr. Osborne also speaks to a few of the larger organizational reinvention themes of his book, “Reinventing Government.”
