ResourceX's PBB Directors deliver well beyond PBB implementation. Your assigned PBB Director works from your PBB data and recommends opportunities to execute revenue enhancements, efficiencies, partnerships, and trade-offs in support of a resource reallocation goal of 10% or more.

Manages the Project and Leads Departmental Processes

The PBB Director reduces implementation time by half, creates program inventories, assists with cost allocations, and provides support for program scoring.

Drives the Budget Process and Supports Proposal Development

The PBB Director delivers budget and PBB expertise, prepares data for PBB implementation, identifies resource reallocation opportunities, and builds the budget book.

Communicates with Organizational Leadership

The PBB Director ensures departments meet key deadlines, reports on progress, and delivers presentations to all stakeholders.

Priority-based budgeting automatically calculates the amount and percentage of the budget identified for reallocation in a predicted model. This vital capability optimizes opportunities and empowers governments to make informed budgetary adjustments effortlessly, efficiently, and transparently.

Priority-based budgeting focuses on programs rather than line items. By categorizing budgets according to programs and initiatives, governments gain a big-picture perspective of resource allocation and can better align funding with their core priorities.

Discover the Power of Communicating Programmatically

“In 2023, the District achieved $900,000 in savings in a $14 million budget—roughly 6 percent—by virtue of applying PBB, resulting in staff buy-in and collaborative participation, efficiencies with program alignment, and community buy-in.”

“Beginning with our commitment to build a more resilient city and through strategic partnerships over the years, Pittsburgh was able to identify $41 million in spending that has been repurposed to meet our sustainability goals—a new model of priority-based budgeting for cities.”

“To be able to say, 'Here's a capital project, [and] here's how it aligns with seven different community priorities and five different attributes,' I don't think there's any better way to try to come up with objective scoring of a capital project.”

“Through PBB, municipal service value has increased by $55 million without asking the taxpayer for a single dollar. In 2019, Strathcona County was honored among the top 10 communities ever, of over 250 PBB implementers in North America. We have reallocated a staggering 9 percent of our entire budget from low priority to high priority.”

“People who manage programs and the budget are often not speaking the same language, and there's this divide. We all need to be on the same page. PBB can be the tool that really does bridge that divide.”

“Our journey started with the council wanting more transparency in our budget process, the greater ability to make data driven decisions, and a greater ability for the general public to be a part of the budget process. And so, we landed on priority-based budgeting as the tool and mechanism to achieve those points. I really appreciate the accolades and we're excited to continue to grow and move down this journey.”
