Senior Fellow
Senior fellow William Borden is director of Mathematica's Performance Management Group, which designs, develops, tests, and implements high quality performance management systems.
Borden has more than 20 years of experience in managing federal reporting systems. He is experienced in synthesizing technical information from complex systems and producing concise recommendations to guide federal management oversight of states and grantees.
Borden’s ability to blend knowledge of federal policy objectives with systems analysis and design skills helps federal clients automate performance, reporting, and validation systems. He has spent the past 15 years developing a sophisticated and rigorous formal methodology to design, document, and manage national federal reporting systems. This methodology is used in all Performance Management Group projects.
Borden has designed and implemented a number of large federal reporting systems. For the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, he oversaw the design and implementation of performance reporting and data validation systems for the Unemployment Insurance program, Workforce Investment Act, Labor Exchange, Trade Adjustment Assistance Act, Senior Community Services Employment Program, and National Farmworkers Job Program. These systems are designed to meet agency Government Performance and Results Act goals as well as Office of the Inspector General and Government Accountability Office recommendations and requirements for performance measurement and data quality.
He is working with the U.S. Department of Education on grant program performance audits and redesigning the reporting system for the Vocational Rehabilitation Program. He is also working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on the design and planning for a Medicaid data warehouse and a complete set of Medicaid analytical and program operations business requirements and is working with the Office on Disability at the Department of Health and Human Services on data infrastructure for a Center of Excellence on Services to People with Disabilities.
Borden has designed and implemented reporting systems for state Temporary Assistance for Needy Families performance reporting systems, conducted multi-state pilot tests, led federal and state reporting workgroups, and provided on-site training and technical assistance in every state.
