PMA Progressive muscular atrophy ) budget and performance integration, improved financial performance, strategic management of human capital, competitive sourcing, and expanded electronic government.

In the fourth quarter of FY 2006, the DoS became the second agency since the PMA was launched to achieve green (the top rating) for status on all five government-wide initiatives. The DoS also reached green on both rightsizing and real property asset management. In addition, for three successive years, DoS has won President's Quality Awards, the highest awards given to Executive Branch agencies for management excellence in achieving the objectives of the PMA. As these outstanding scores and awards indicate, the DoS is not just changing at the margins, but rather transforming itself and its practices: * State has fundamentally reorganized re·or·gan·ize v. re·or·gan·ized, re·or·gan·iz·ing, re·or·gan·iz·es v.tr.

These positions include staff for seventeen new American Presence Posts in cities where the United States currently has no diplomatic representation. * Through the process established by National Security Decision Directive 38, State is working with other agencies to right size U.S. government presence overseas. As alternatives to putting new functions at individual posts, bureaus are energetically exploring alternatives such as regionalization regionalization Managed care The subdivision of a broadly available service–eg, a blood bank, into quasi-autonomous regional centers, capable of making decisions and providing more cost-effective and/or faster service to hospitals and health care facilities, and containing the costs of duplicative administrative support. * State is aggressively pursuing a Department-wide restructuring aimed at consolidating functions, reducing organizational layers, and eliminating or outsourcing low-priority, non-core functions.
