In conjunction with the Performance Institute, MELE Associates has been conducting a comprehensive training and consulting program on Building Better IT Business Cases to meet the challenges of OMB’s requirements for the Exhibit 300 process.
Each two-day, comprehensive event is open to all agencies as well as their supporting contractors, and features OMB updates and showcases best practices in order to help you successfully complete Exhibit 300s that will enable any Federal Agency to score high on OMB reviews as well as develop better performance measures for IT program managers.
Our primary instructor John Keane has developed a phased life-cycle management approach to satisfying the data submission requirements for the Exhibit 300 and developed supporting tools and techniques that have been integrated into the business case process. Mr. Keane also conducts a variety of classes on capital investment planning, outsourcing, performance based contracting and implementation of IT best practices. A sample agenda includes:
