President Barack Obama has created a new position in his administration, which is that of a Chief Performance Officer. The task would be:
to improve the efficiency of government programs and reform spending malpractices and identify areas that the US government can make big change that lasts beyond the economic recovery plan and save taxpayer money over the long term
Nancy Killefer is chosen for the post.
This is like having a quality officer in the organization, especially that Killefer has a management consultant background. I like it when governments are run like private corporations.
