Former Baltimore mayor and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is arguably one of the foremost proponents of using data analytics to measure government performance. That’s quite evident from his new book, “Smarter Government: How to Govern for Results in the Information Age," which he discussed at our Federal News Network studios last week. He brought the New York City Police Department's revolutionary performance measurement program CompStat to Baltimore, then later to the state capital in Annapolis. Speaking to Ask the CIO: SLED Edition host John Thomas Flynn, O'Malley argued for better data metrics in gauging government performance.
