Why or why not?
It was very good to get the information from Robert Shay, OMB, and to learn his (OMB) perspective.
Good recap. Useful metrics about changes. Reasonable self-assessment of what they have done well or not done well.
Broadly presented the information, which facilitated questions and views. The presentation has raised additional questions for
my program, which I am better able to search out.
I’ve heard Robert Shea before an didn’t learn much new.
I now understand better the process of PART and resistant to filter it down.
The guest speakers were very informative.
6. The meeting provided me with information concerning how OPM views the creation of higher performing agencies.
Why or why not?
OPM seems to me to be approaching the ground themes in high performance organizations, and still has a way to go.
Somewhat basic presentation. Dialog was very worthwhile. Q&A was most valuable.
I appreciated the OPM presentation and discussion. I’m sorry for being ill and not participating. I heard much that related to
pay and benefit rewards. Under NSPS advancement may diminish but the rewards should be/could be opportunity for more
challenging assignments, new/broadening assignments.
Marta’s materials were well organized and she has a good understanding of OPM’s strategies.
Great presentation.
But nothing new to me—fairly superficial.
7. The information I learned from other participants and presenters will help me decide what different actions I might take in
the future to use the PART process to improve my agency’s performance.
Why or why not?
I believe our agency is on the right path, but I feel it’s still a couple years away. It was refreshing to learn EPA is not alone.
Too low level of participants for this particular conversation topic. Several were not aware of PART.
I’m going to be on the lookout for the sign of PART being applied by my management.
I’m not sufficiently informed about how PART is positioned in our agency.
Many did not deal with PART but came to learn about it.
8. .My expectations were met.

9. I liked most:
Both speakers.
Dialog and Q&A with speakers.
Marta Perez gave a clear description of what OPM’s doing.
Bob Tobias’ facilitation and provocative questions.
The presenters are the key thought leaders on these issues.
Very good moderation by Bob Tobias on these issues—placing them in context of the audience.
10. I liked least:
Weather.
The room format detracted from enhanced discussion.
Not enough agency practitioners/program mangers.
Small number of participants.
11. Suggestions for future meetings:
Keep it up!
Ensure participants are better aligned to the level of the topic to their agency.
Deicussion of best practices in organization’s management.
