RBM

Results-Based Management is a management strategy focused on achieving defined outcomes and using performance information to improve decision-making. RBM emphasizes accountability for results rather than activities, aligning resources and processes with measurable objectives.

Government agencies increasingly apply RBM principles to contract management, defining clear outcomes, establishing performance metrics, and evaluating contractors based on achieved results rather than compliance with prescribed processes. RBM aligns with performance-based acquisition strategies and supports the shift from prescriptive to outcome-oriented contracting approaches.
