Leveraging Systems Thinking for Government: Transformation & Public Management Improving the performance of the federal government across all departments and agencies requires rethinking how the business of government is actually accomplished. Initiatives such as the President's Management Agenda and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP), are calling for increased effectiveness and efficiency of government operations to counter perceptions of waste and mismanagement, ensure that tax dollars are spent wisely, and produce outcomes that citizens regard as positive and helpful. CALIBRE has used Systems Thinking techniques, models, and simulation tools to assist government customers in achieving a better understanding of the consequences and resource demands of their current business practices and to identify alternatives that can improve decision-making, communications, resource stewardship, and performance.
