Management

The management side of OMB oversees and coordinates the Federal procurement policy, performance and personnel management, information technology (e-Government) and financial management. In this capacity, OMB oversees agency management of programs and resources to achieve legislative goals and Administration policy. It also oversees agency program evaluation activities to determine their net effects, success or failure, and how agencies respond to these findings by making management improvements and developing new budget and policy proposals.  The Deputy Director for Management (DDM) also serves as the nation’s first Federal Chief Performance Officer (CPO).  Working with the management offices within OMB, the DDM/CPO develops and executes a government-wide performance management agenda.
