| Ready to Govern: Improving the Presidential Transition |
Partnership |
01/13/2010 |
The constitutional transfer of presidential power has been one of the hallmarks of American democracy—a peaceful ritual that provides continuity for our government as well as an opportunity for change and renewal.
Based on the Partnership's interviews with key transition officials from both the Obama and McCain campaigns, and the Bush White House, Ready to Govern: Improving the Presidential Transition examines the transition beginning in early 2008 through President Obama’s first year in office. The report takes a behind-the-scenes look at President Obama and John McCain’s transition operations and their successes and shortcomings.

| Unrealized Vision: Reimagining the Senior Executive Service |
Partnership and Booz Allen Hamilton |
08/20/2009 |
The federal government’s Senior Executive Service (SES), as envisioned 30 years ago by government reformers, has fallen short of its promise and is inadequate to meet today’s challenges, according to a report by the Partnership for Public Service and Booz Allen Hamilton.
The report examines the state of the 7,000-member elite corps of federal leaders and how government develops, recruits, hires, retains, pays and trains its top managers.

| Cyber IN-Security: Strengthening the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce |
Partnership for Public Service and Booz Allen Hamilton |
07/22/2009 |
The Partnership for Public Service and Booz Allen Hamilton examined the state of the federal cybersecurity
workforce by interviewing experts inside and outside of government, and examining public testimony, reports and documents. The Partnership and Booz Allen held focus groups and surveyed federal chief information officers (CIOs), chief information security officers (CISOs) and human resource (HR) officials at 18 federal agencies.
The results of this research are troubling and, in many
ways, familiar. The overriding finding of our analysis is that our federal government will be unable to combat these threats without a more coordinated, sustained effort to increase cybersecurity expertise in the federal workforce.

| Partnership for Public Service Annual Report FY 2008 |
Partnership |
04/16/2009 |
The economic crisis, like no other story, validates the importance of the Partnership's mission to improve government performance and reminds us that, in times of national crisis, we turn to our federal government for solutions. And, while the economy is highlighting the need for effective government, the 2008 election and subsequent transition are shining a spotlight on another core tenet of our mission: the need to attract a new generation into public service.
This annual report illustrates why our mission has never been more relevant and how our organization has never been better positioned to drive real change in government. We are doing everything we can to take advantage of them and capture the energy surrounding government today.

Partnership |

"Leaving Talent on the Table: The Need to Capitalize on High Performing Student Interns"focuses on ways to leverage student interns as a strategic component of workforce planning, recruitment and hiring at the entry levels.
For instance, the report examines the significant gap between the private and federal sectors in intern conversion rates - private employers report converting more than half of their interns, whereas federal agencies convert fewer than 7 percent.

| Great Expectations! What Students Want in an Employer and How Federal Agencies Can Deliver It |
Partnership and Universum USA |
01/14/2009 |
The Partnership for Public Service and Universum USA teamed up to examine the results of Universum USA's 2008 survey of undergraduates -- The Universum IDEAL Employer Survey 2008 -- to identify the qualities young people seek in an employer.
This report details key findings of this research, and there are a number of signs to suggest government's appeal extends beyond the new president. More importantly, the report offers operational advice to federal recruiters about how they can use this information to do a better job of attracting and retaining top talent.

| Elevating Our Federal Workforce: Chief Human Capital Officers Offer Advice to President Obama |
Partnership and Grant Thornton |
12/03/2008 |
In 2007, the Partnership for Public Service and Grant Thornton LLP, interviewed federal government chief human capital officers (CHCOs), deputy CHCOs and other key human resource advisors to learn firsthand about critical issues in federal human capital management. The 2007 survey focused on the President’s Management Agenda, the general environment and laid the groundwork for future surveys.
In 2008, we repeated the survey and focused on issues surrounding the impending presidential transition. While many CHCOs are career civil servants, some are political appointees who will leave the federal government and pass their duties on to new leaders. In this context, we hope the results of this year’s survey will be particularly useful as the new administration takes the reins.
