Describe the CitiStat program and explain what kind of strategy it represents. How does it do so?
What will be an ideal response?
Given as a textural example of results-based management, CitiStat is a program out of Baltimore (and now the entire state of Maryland as the former mayor of Baltimore, Martin O’Malley, was elected governor and took the program statewide). CitiStat takes performance indicators and transfers them to a map using GIS mapping technology. The program combines rapid response performance results with budgetary decisions as officials can track instantly whether such things as the arson prevention task force is having an effect. It also has a call center so citizens can call in problems in the city that can also be mapped and linked to budgetary decision making. This program reflects results-based management that effectively uses technology.
