Outcome Budgeting Overview
“Getting the Results We Need in an Age of Permanent Fiscal Crisis”
  • Through Outcome Budgeting, we will integrate the budgeting and business planning processes using outcome-oriented performance measures.  The major steps are as follows: 1


  • Determine the baseline for the overall “price” of County government.
  • Determine the priorities of government by identifying the outcomes that matter most to citizens.
  • Decide the price for each priority outcome.
  • Decide how best to deliver each priority outcome at the set price.
  • Set outcome goals and indicators for each of the strategies and measure the results.
  • Determine which programs to include in the budget.
  • Establish clear performance standards for the programs included.
  • Establish levels for program budget authority.
  • Develop full-cost accounting for each of the programs in the budget.
  • Create an annual process where each program is measured against its performance targets.
  • Use the annual review process to assist with improvements in performance.
  • Make performance-driven decisions in the functional organizational chart.
