What is Performance-Based Budgeting?
PBB is a popular and proven budget preparation and cost improvement method based on the best practice principles of Activity Based Management (ABM). PBB is successfully used by government organizations of all sizes.

PBB improves the cost of public sector activities and services. For example, Performance Based Budgeting focuses on city work… Fill Potholes, Answer Alarm Calls, Issue Permits, Repair Sidewalk, Investigate Complaints, Process Traffic Ticket Payments… not city workers.

What is the Workshop Objective?
This 2 1/2 day workshop will train managers and employees how to successfully self-implement and use Performance-Based Budgeting (PBB) to improve the accuracy and size of your city, county, state or federal government organization.

Who should attend?
Because budgets are built from the ground up, every department manager should participate in the workshop.
