When We Began

OMAP was created in 1985 to provide a productivity and management improvement program for the Department to effectively implement Executive Order 12479, which focused on management improvement. Under that Executive Order, our office was charged with coordinating and implementing management reform in the federal government. In 1992, Executive Order 12816 created an interagency group of representatives from all federal government agencies to discuss problems and recommend improvements in government management and operations. Our office continuously adapts to and promotes best business practices.   [Back to top]

Who We Serve

Our customers are all HUD employees, the Assistant Secretary for Office of Administration, senior Office of Administration management officials, and HUD senior management.

• Sponsored development of the HUD Integrated Performance Reporting System (HIPRS) that provides a tool for HUD offices to report their performance in implementing important goals included in the Department’s Annual Performance Plan and annual Management Plan.

Starting in 2000, ten or more offices have been reviewed each year.
