Budgeting Insights:
Make Your Budgeting
Data Actionable

Program Insights

Insights facilitate communication and collaboration that help organizations
to take action on their programs and services.

Insights offer organizations an opportunity to use PBB data and intuition to enact small changes that deliver a big impact. They offer an organization their best opportunity to work in a collaborative and proactive fashion to build a sustainable future. Insight workshops utilize the wisdom of the crowd and their expertise to design the future of their programs and services.

Program Data at Work

Programs provide context and insight for better budgeting decisions

Program data creates opportunities to review possibilities where services could be provided in new and alternative ways. Insights capture the knowledge and ideas of your organization.

Capturing the Knowledge and Expertise of Your Organization

Include the voices of your organization to empower change

Insights lead to outcomes and actions that inform and instruct where budgets could or should go. Including department leaders in this process is intuitive and efficient. 

Insights can be identified at any point throughout the year and don't have to be reserved for a specific time in the budget process.

"The idea behind Insights is - we jump in. We figure out where we can prioritize - what we want to put emphasis on. It's all about your ideas. This is our opportunity for the future - for working for the future. Let's make a difference."
Doug Bach, County Administrator, Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas

Insights for a Specific Purpose

Add specific qualitative and quantitative goals to inspire Insights

Organizations are proactively working towards creating the future of your organization and community through Insight creation. Your program data is invaluable to achieving your outcomes through targeted Insights.
