For projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), the consequences of project success—or failure—are extraordinarily high. Recover Act fund dollars will be invested with unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency. Each program and project has become more visible and must meet stringent compliance and reporting requirements.
As a result, substantial new demands and increased scrutiny are being placed on federal, state and local agencies. ESI has been partners with many of these state and local government agencies for years, and has developed solutions to help with their Recovery Act projects.
Do you and your organization have the right skills to handle ARRA projects? We recommend you first consider these questions:
| |
- Do you and your staff know ho to meet Recovery Act transparency guidelines and reporting requirements?
- How are you and your organization reporting back on your progress on programs and projects?
- Are your Recovery Act projects delivering the proposed results and planned value?
- What best practices is your organization using to manage the way your allocated money is being spent?
- Do you and others within your organization have the key competencies, skills and attributes to manage Recovery Act programs and projects?

ESI can help you quickly assess your people, processes and tools to help identify, categorize, and prioritize current practices and behaviors, leverage best practices, analyze gaps and establish areas for improvement. So you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your staff’s skill levels and create a professional development road map for quick, measurable results.
