Robert Shea Email & Phone Number

I'm the CEO of GovNavigators! I've been working to improve government's performance for almost 25 years, first in the Congress (U.S. House/Senate), then the White House (OMB), then at Grant Thornton. I'm a Fellow & former Chairman of the National Academy of Public Administration. I was appointed to the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, which made important recommendations for better integration of evidence into policymaking.It's been 20 years since GPRA was enacted; federal agencies have come a long way in the quality of their strategic planning and annual performance planning and reporting. Govt orgs must report what OUTCOMES they're achieving & how they're going to do better. Now, with passage of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act, they're advancing evidence-based policymaking. While at the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, I worked with almost every agency on their major management challenges and what they were doing to improve. When Pres Bush was elected, I joined some of the most talented people in govt @ OMB. And because OMB's at the center of every government initiative, I worked on many of the govt's thorniest issues -- improper payments, competitive sourcing, strategic management of human capital, security clearance reform, IT reform & e-government. My major assignment was improving agency & program performance by assessing & enhancing programs with the PART. Every program got an assessment & developed improvement plans. I also negotiated the Transparency Act (FFATA) & then implemented it (USASpending.gov). Now I'm doing what I was doing in government, but in the private sector. I partner with federal, state & local, and international clients helping solve some of the same thorny issues I confronted in govt. And I get to work with a lot of former government officials who I admire. Public service is its own reward. I hope my three girls (Haley, Hannah, and Mimi) share my passion for helping govt work better.Mobile: 5404546879Email: therobertjshea@gmail.com
