Dallas County's use of gentle and progressive pressure to manage with a focus on outcomes has been effective despite the lack of clear authority lines among elected officials. Resource allocation decisions are made with constant reference to performance data and management's track record of meeting their targets. The key to the success of the system has been to use it more often than once a year as an early warning that management attention is required. This paper describes Dallas County, Texas' strategy for ensuring that measures are not only published but also studied, discussed, and utilized to make corrective actions and distribute resources in a way that supports the attainment of the organization's mission.
