DCMO Policy and Integration

Abstract

The Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO) is the Principal Staff Assistant (PSA) and advisor to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense for matters relating to management and improvement of integrated DoD business operations. The DCMO was created to integrate stove-piped business processes and over 2,400 disconnected business systems costing approximately $7B / year to acquire, modernize and operate. The National Defense Authorization Act for 2008 created the DCMO position. With the disestablishment of the Department of Defense (DoD) Business Transformation Agency (BTA), the DCMO has been directed by the Secretary to transition appropriate oversight and integration functionality heretofore performed by the BTA, into the Office of the DCMO. Although a final organizational construct is nearing completion, the framework would include these functions: Strategic Planning, Performance Management and Reporting (provides for integration of strategic planning activities that drive improvement in DoD’s business operations); Technical and Engineering (provides for integrated architecture and systems engineering support for business mission area and staying abreast of technological developments in industry); Business Integration (provides for management of core business mission processes); Information Technology Business Acquisition Oversight and Implementation (provides for ensuring that sound strategic planning, robust architecture and engineering efforts and quality business integration will yield effective IT solutions).
