At its most basic level, the Arizona Management System provides a disciplined way to track performance against targets on measures that matter most to state agency missions. Where gaps exist between the target and actual performance, agencies engage in disciplined, systematic problem solving to resolve issues and get back on track. We’re doing this in agencies throughout Arizona government, and we’ve begun seeing results – both great and small. Many of these success stories are presented below.
