ResultsStat ™ is a management model, similar to
CompStat and CitiStat, based on the Results-Based
Accountability™ framework developed by Mark Friedman
and highlighted in his book Trying Hard is Not
Good Enough. It is a way of improving local government
performance in the context of improving
community quality of life.
The Stat phenomenon has its roots beginning in the
New York City Police Department with CompStat
in 1994. Pioneered by JackMaple, CompStat helped
NYPD dramatically reduce crime. In 2000, Governor
(then Baltimore Mayor) Martin O’Malley,
established CitiStat as a leadership strategy to improve
the performance of city agencies and millions
of dollars were saved.
Since then, and many awards later, there have been
a proliferation of CitiStat styled initiatives across the
country. They include ALTstat in Atlanta Georgia;
Chattanooga Results in Tennessee; CitiView in St.
Louis, Missouri; GMAP (Government Management,
Accountability and Performance) in Washington;
CapStat in D.C.; SFStat in San Francisco
California; and StateStat in Maryland.
