Performance Management

The city of Glendale has established a balanced scorecard as the foundation for its strategic plan.  Each performance plan and dashboard in the city links back to the balanced scorecard.  The Department of Organizational Performance tracks the citywide Tier I key performance indicators and works with departments to help them establish and track their Tier II key performance indicators.  If departments need support to establish dashboards or monitor performance, the Department of Organizational Performance provides the needed skills and expertise.  Links to the citywide performance dashboards can be found on our performance website.

Data Governance

Organizational Performance also provides leadership for the city's data governance program.  Staff lead the Data Governance Oversight Committee and sit on the Data Governance Executive Steering Committee.  More information and documents can be found below.
