Everything is BIG in Dallas, including its local municipality budget. However, big doesn't always mean better, or the best. Dallas executives wanted to make sure that the city budget also had big positive impacts on its residents and business. Since 2017, the city has strived to provide performance metrics that speak on the health of the city and its operations.
Reporting to an assistant director, Dominic served as the program manager responsible for consulting 42 city departments and offices annually in their efforts to correlate budget requests for expenditures to valuable outcomes and key results as KPIs. From 2017 to 2020, Dominic led the consulting process of eliminating redundancy, non-value, and removing counts as signifiers of quality performance.
Working without a team, in 2017, Dominic eliminated 1,500 irrelevant quantity metrics from being published in the budget book. With new hires in 2018, Dominic led the team to consult departments in upgrading performance to measure for effectiveness and efficiencies. In 2019, serving as an assistant project manager to a large equity project, Dominic led his team in consulting departments to focus on equitable outcomes with performance measures that contributed to city's overall goal of being more equitable.
Through those working years, Dominic was able to create and present training. He led as the performance measures presentation during budget kick-off, and worked to bring recognition to Dallas' program.
