Performance-Based Contracting
 

Altmayer Consulting has developed a unique approach to public sector's contracting for community services.  Altmayer Consulting assist clients to identify the mutual goals and objectives and to develop a “performance matrix” that sets forth a series of measurable objectives.  These objectives are then used to develop a formal methodology to evaluate success in achieving the contractual goals.  As part of this practice, we have provided training to and/or negotiated projects for the following clients:

  • LA County Auditor-Controller's Office

  • LA County Department of Mental Health

  • First 5 LA -- Los Angeles Universal Preschool Contract

  • First 5 LA -- 211 LA Contract

  • First 5 LA -- Workforce Development Contract

 

Strategic Planning
 

Altmayer Consulting approaches strategic planning with an emphasis on developing goals, outcomes and strategies that provide clear direction to decision-makers.  We also emphasize the use of performance indicators that measure success.  A strategic plan is not simply a roadmap of what is important, but it must serve as a decision-making and evaluation tool that will be used to measure progress toward the achievement of the overall mission.
