After several years of a struggling world economy, state and local government organizations face significant challenges. Most organizations have to contend with a backlog of projects, budget pressure, and a lack of visibility into operations. And many are also dealing with neglected operations, low employee morale, and taxpayer displeasure.

The innovative CorVu performance management solution helps state and local government organizations track goals and initiatives, increase accountability, and clearly communicate services to constituents.

The City of Atlanta deployed CorVu in order to successfully execute Mayor Shirley Franklin’s strategy of changing the operating model of the city, making it more outcomes-oriented and customer-centric. With 8,000 employees, 15 very different lines of business, and a huge budget deficit, Mayor Franklin sought to ensure that departmental operations are aligned with the overall strategy of the City. Using CorVu, the City developed The Atlanta Dashboard, which is the Mayor’s central management tool for setting performance goals, tracking progress against those goals, and holding managers accountable.
