Government Reform

Posted by Gary Coons on Thursday, March 5, 2009


Government re-engineering and modernization focuses on fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of government processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance, such as cost, quality and speed. The current government structure in Marion County reflects multi-layered, bureaucratic, and costly systems. This type of structure was often justified in earlier years by a perceived need to utilize services and processes managed at a local level due to the lack of communication and accessible resources. Contemporary Government practices often utilizes a hierarchical organizational structure and a single point of decision-making and accountability. The call of taxpayers today is for government leaders and legislators to find government structures that will be effective, productive, and that will seek to develop high performance, mission focused organizational structure.


In contrast to the restrictive multi-layered government organizations, high performance governments appear to have a common belief in the ability of people and the organization to change and become more effective. High performance organizations demonstrate open communication and empowerment of members within government agencies as well as a supporting a culture of collaboration.Contemporary government practice requires attention to accountability and performance with a strong sense of fiscal discipline. Hoosiers demand and deserve government services proportionate to what they pay in taxes. The initiatives listed above in represent reasonable and measurable objectives building high performance structures in Marion County and State of Indiana governments.
