Resource Summary

This document provides an overview of the Cost of Government Governing Summit hosted by Governing in September 2012.  It is a guide for public officials as they focus on managing costs rather than simply managing their budgets, which requires transforming both operations and decision making through greater transparency, use of performance data, and communication about how the data informs public policy choices.
