SECTION 1 - OVERVIEW The Performance Based Studies Research Group (PBSRG) is a non-profit research group at Arizona State University's School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. Since 1994, the PBSRG has researched and tested best value and leadership based concepts to develop organization and service models that increase efficiency and performance, while minimizing risk. The PBSRG is recognized as the worldwide expert in best-value and performance information systems. The PBSRG engages in the research, development, and testing of tools and methodologies to solicit, award, and manage all types of business services, including information technology, design, and construction. The Best-Value program educates and assists partners in becoming a more efficient organization through measurement, risk management, accountability, and transparency. The PBSRG also educates partners in both a selection process, and in the management of the vendor after the award has been made for all types of projects. This combination of pre-award and post-award functions makes the PIPS process unlike any other best-value tool.
