   What would your idea be? Who would evaluate? How would it be measured and sustained?

   I don't know what that even means. What sort of "cost savings" are you talking about? Do you mean we should all be required to prove that the amount of money we make each year is less than what would be spent without us? How would we do that?

   The cost savings would be the result of a process improvement; either the elimination of waste or the increase in productivity. The measurement would be akin to the way savings are calculated under programs like Lean and Six Sigma.

   It is a job. We are paid for a service, expertise, skill, to perform a job. We do not need to prove anything except our performance.

   Training every government employee to do this would be expensive.

   Many agencies (regulatory agencies in particular) don't actually produce anything so would be hard to evaluate.

   Most employees lack the authority to improve processes.

   Etc, etc, etc.

   I say we charge $10 to post an idea to this site, that way, if it's not so well thought out at least there's an upside.
