Human Resources Management Consortium

For over a decade, the HRM Consortium has been on the cutting edge in identifying and resolving key human capital issues facing the federal government. The HRM Consortium is a forum for key federal officials leading strategic human capital and human resources management programs. It is dedicated to the Academy's goal of providing hands-on assistance to government leaders and agencies through research, analysis, problem solving and information sharing, strategic planning and connecting people and ideas. Other thought leaders and experts in these fields, including from the legislative branch and the private sector, also participate.

HRM Consortium members enjoy:

  • Forums and workshops on current human capital issues and challenges
  • Interaction with each other and thought leaders and experts from other sectors
  • Programs sponsored by the Performance and Executive Consortiums
  • Consultation with Academy staff experts
  • Academy reports on studies for Congress and federal agencies

HRM Consortium Members have been invited to participate in:

  • Executive Luncheons at the National Press Club where the Academy and Government Executive Magazine lead stimulating discussions with key government executives on hot topics of the day. Recent sessions featured discussions with Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs) and Deputy CHCOs on their goals, working relationships and how they approach strategic workforce planning.    
  • A presentation and Q and A session with John Salamone, Executive Director of the Chief Human Capital Officers Council.
  • A panel discussion featuring Doris Hausser, Senior Policy Advisor to the Director of OPM and Carol Bonosaro, President of the Senior Executive Association, on the controversy surrounding the implementation SES pay for performance system

Colvard, Department of Defense Program Executive Officer Mary E. Lacey, National Intelligence Community Chief Human Capital Officer Dr. Ronald Sanders, and Comptroller General David Walker.  The second in this leadership series will be held June 14, 2007 at the Academy.

  • An Academy forum on Managing the Multisector Workforce: the Agency Perspective.
  • A session with young government leaders on Growing Government Leaders: Strategies for First-Line Supervisors.
  • Other regular forums at the Academy on a broad range of human capitol and performance issues.

HRM participants benefit from the experience gained through the Academy's broad HR studies program and its strong team of HR experts. Academy reports are made available to HRM members as they are published. The HRM Consortium works closely with the Academy's Performance and Executive Consortia in providing programs to participants.

The HRM Consortium also teams with other governmental and non-governmental entities to better examine and resolve issues facing federal HR officials. These include the Government Accountability Office, the National Commission on the Public Service (Volcker Commission), local universities, other non-profit organizations and human capital experts from the private sector.

Second Symposium in the Academy’s Global Leadership Series

To be held at the Academy’s new offices

Academy Experts Recommend Strategies for Managing Effectively in Post-9/11 World

“The events of September 11, 2001 revealed serious deficiencies in government organization, systems and management. National Academy of Public Administration Fellows recommend strategies to manage effectively in a post-9/11 world in Meeting the Challenge of 9/11: Blueprints for More Effective Government, published this month.

The book, edited by Fellow Thomas H. Stanton, tackles a wide range of issues, including designing an organization that provides a strong government capacity to deliver services citizens need and deserve; making the Undersecretary for Management a key linchpin in bringing DHS functions together; restoring the President’s capacity to manage effectively; using the imperative of national security to improve federal, state and local relations especially with critical services like police, fire and health; capitalizing on tested and proven management strategies to surmount new and upcoming challenges for our nation; sorting through constitutional alternatives for holding government contractors accountable for the work they perform; and transforming military personnel system policies to avoid staffing crises during the War on Terror.

“This book provides invaluable insights and recommendations on how to improve government organization and performance as our nation faces new and imposing threats here and abroad,” Academy President Howard Messner said.
