At a High Level, With Focus on Improving Operating Efficiency,
USA Inc. Might Consider Ways to Do Things Like...
e Consider empowering an independent / 3 party auditor with expertise in government operations around the world / corporate turnarounds to conduct a broad-ranging audit of USA Inc.’s operations.
e Restore strong rules for budget process: Require annual budget resolutions and reconciliation; PAYGO* to limit spending, enforce annual appropriations process consider biennial budgeting.
e Consider giving the President ‘line-item’ veto / rescission authority.
e Empower commissions analogous to the military base closing panels to review and consolidate government functions and agencies, as well as aid to State and local governments.
e Seek flexibility to manage performance and terminate poor-performing Federal employees.
e Develop flexible / long-term compensation plans including bonus payments for Federal employees when annual budget deficit reduction goals are met.
e Privatize government real estate and other assets with little use, expanding on current efforts to trim $3 billion in government-owned real estate.
e Identify additional opportunities to increase public/private investment, management and operations to drive innovation and investment in infrastructure
Note: PAYGO is the practice of financing expenditures with funds that are currently available rather than borrowed. KP Source: KPCB and Alvarez & Marsal Public Sector Services, LLC. (@E) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | What Might a Turnaround Expert Consider? 334
