Let Data Lead the Way: 2022 Impact Report Presentation

The breakthrough of Priority Based Budgeting is the repeatable path to identify the link between programs and priorities. Since its first application in 2008, over 300 local governments have implemented the process – inventorying programs and services and rigorously evaluating the influence of those programs on priorities.

The data created and aggregated in the ResourceX tools provides incredible transparency into local government patterns and trends. No other company can offer the same depth of program data. The 2022 Impact Report highlights this data and provides invaluable insights into the application and benefits of program data.

Join ResourceX CEO & Co-Founder Chris Fabian for an exciting presentation of program and priority based budgeting covering the 2022 activities from our PBB community.

The full 2022 Impact Report will be available following the presentation.

From Line Items to Greater Alignment

To best meet the needs of the 21st-century local government organizations, program and priority-based budgeting are becoming more sought-after approaches. In contrast to traditional budgeting models, priority-based budgets align resources and funding with community priorities and outcomes. This builds a data-rich budget organized in terms relevant to how residents experience local government services creating transparency and a better understanding of where funds are used and how they align with what is important to the community.

Think Programmatically, Act Locally

When local governments rely on traditional line-item budgeting, they miss efficiencies and cost savings that could be applied to high-value community programs.

Many of these improvements are hiding in plain sight. However, visibility is limited without a way to link data to programs and outcomes.

Local Governments are the Vehicle to Produce a Better World… Starting with Your Community

Local governments are uniquely positioned to make significant progress on some of society’s greatest challenges such as inequality and climate change. If there’s one common bond among all of the challenges we’re most interested in solving, it’s that we’re going to need resources available to fund the solutions. ResourceX PBB software solutions empower communities to tackle today’s challenges, unencumbered by limited resources.

Know What You Spend on Everything

Traditional budget processes don’t seriously question the spending decisions made in years past. Too many local governments continue to base their funding decisions on this traditional budget process. PBB makes budgeting more meaningful and transparent by identifying the full cost of all programs provided and basing decisions on true cost of providing those services.

Do the Big Things Well, Within Budget

When everything is appropriately prioritized, it’s easier to do the big things well while being smart, efficient, and transparent about every dollar spent.
