2.1: Mission Effectiveness
A primary goal in DOI’s Open Government Plan is to increase the Department’s ability to meet its mission more effectively
and efficiently by transparently engaging stakeholders in decision making,
Other Information:
This value proposition includes: Creating better relationships between Government and stakeholders; Enabling DOI to understand
stakeholders’ demand for services more clearly and be more responsive to their needs; Increasing the rate of innovation by
leveraging public knowledge; and encouraging the development of Open Government Programs that can produce significant cost
avoidance and mission benefits. Some key indicators or performance measures of open government progress include: Number of
DOI datasets available on Data.Gov; Reduction of FOIA backlog; and Level of participation in open government focused initiatives
(the number of participants and the number of comments). An additional indicator of DOI’s progress is the White House’s Open
Government Dashboard that was created to assess the state of open government across all Federal Agencies. The first version
of the Dashboard tracks departmental progress on the deliverables set out in the Directive and is a key component of measuring
the performance of DOI’s open government efforts. The Dashboard is accessible online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/open/around.
DOI will continue to refine performance measures to align with the DOI Strategic Plan as open government and the DOI Strategic
Plan mature.
