Guidon CEO Ron Wince discusses that many state and federal executives are relating to a frenzied feeling, having to get the most value out of their stimulus allocation before the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s (ARRA), P.L. 111-5, timer goes off. The President’s pledge that ARRA spending will be transparent and accountable adds to the pressure. In other words, because every decision they make will likely be scrutinized, state and federal managers must make sure spending is planned strategically and monitored carefully while also balancing the need for speed. To survive in this perfect storm, new approaches may be needed to help state and federal government employees successfully meet the requirements.
