Process & Performance Improvement

 

About Us

Improve Processes. Enhance Performance. Transform your Agency.

OPM's Process & Performance Improvement Program (PPIP) partners with public sector organizations to lead trainings, workshops, and project-based learning initiatives aimed at improving organizational performance and internal and external customer experiences.  These efforts directly support the government-wide focus on reskilling and building capacity to design and execute improvement initiatives in a wide-array of settings. We equip individuals with knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied to support their organization's transformation by:

  • utilizing data to shape the future of government processes,
  • supporting the shift of time and energy from low-value to high-value work, and
  • uncovering root causes of complex challenges.

Why Process & Performance Improvement?

We utilize data-driven structured problem-solving methodologies to improve organizations' processes, performance, and customer experiences.

We offer:

  • Training programs open to individuals from any agency
  • Customized training programs and workshops for teams or organizations
  • Agency-specific, project-based learning solutions
