Council on Efficient Government
Mission Statement:
The Council on Efficient Government's mission is to review, evaluate and provide advice on agency outsourcing and best practices, as well as to codify lessons learned to improve government accountability. It is the Council's goal to define the process for reviewing business cases and implement standard processes for outsourcing initiatives.
______________________________________________________________________________________
The Florida Efficient Government Act of 2006 created the Council on Efficient Government in response to a growing trend to outsource government services and jobs. Legislators recognized that agencies should focus on their core missions and deliver services by outsourcing or contracting with private sector vendors whenever vendors can more effectively and efficiently provide services and reduce the overall cost of government. Legislators also recognized that business cases to outsource should be evaluated for feasibility, cost-effectiveness and efficiency before an agency proceeds with any significant outsourcing of services and reduction of government staff.
The Council's role is to review, evaluate and issue advisory reports on outsourcing business cases as specified by legislation as well as investigate and recommend innovative ideas to increase efficiency and save taxpayer dollars. Finding better and less costly ways to provide government services to citizens are principal goals of Florida's state government.
