About Open OPM
Overview
Through this Web site, we will share information with you about our Open Government plans and activities and collaborate with you to make OPM a more open agency.
Through our Open Government efforts we aim to:
- Build trust with the American people
- Empower the public
- Become more innovative, effective, and efficient in our work
- Make wiser decisions
- Foster a culture that values everyone’s contributions
- Increase accountability
- Track how our agency uses money
As of April 2010, we made multiple data sets available via Data.gov, launched this Web site, taken public input on how to improve openness at OPM, and posted our Open Government Plan. Please watch See How We’re Doing and News & Updates to see our progress since then.
Our Open Government Plan is a living document. While we will make major changes every two years, we will make other changes as the process evolves. These changes may be based on ideas you share with us, the results of experiments with new technologies, or modifications to Federal laws or policies, such as the Paperwork Reduction Act or policies regarding Web browser cookies.
The Plan includes a section on our Flagship Initiative, which will focus on using knowledge management tools to:
- Support ongoing interaction with internal and external stakeholders
- Explore social media and Web 2.0 sites and tools for their potential to bring new and varied stakeholders to the table
