Business Transformation Agency
Abstract
The Business Transformation Agency (BTA) leads and coordinates business transformation efforts across the Department of Defense (DoD). The BTA also directly supports the mission of the warfighter through the Task Force to Improve Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO) in Iraq, support for which is funded through the Army. The Task Force is reviewing and assessing the DoD business enterprise processes and associated systems in Iraq affecting contracting, logistics, fund distribution, and financial management. The Task Force focuses on providing systems solutions to support theatre commander’s goals for reconstruction and economic development. The BTA recognizes that DoD’s business enterprise must be closer to its warfighting customers than ever before. Joint military requirements drive the need for greater commonality and integration of business and financial operations. Changes in the nature of military operations place increased pressure on the business infrastructure to provide mission-driven, adaptive and agile services and information. To support this transition, Defense business operations must be as nimble, adaptive and accountable as any organization in the world. To achieve concrete outcomes and to make further progress in transforming the Department’s business operations, the BTA has identified the following six guiding principles as the bedrock of business transformation efforts, and the concepts around which results can be measured. •Strategic Alignment of DoD’s approach to optimizing its business mission area must be achieved throughout the organization. •Standardize essential operational data, processes, and business rules in order to significantly improve the Department’s ability to process and share information throughout the enterprise. •Simplify the Department’s overly complex business rules that complicate operations, lead to expensive and risk-filled solutions, and inhibit breakthrough performance improvement. •Streamline the Department’s core end-to-end business processes to eliminate non-value added activities and achieve significant improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. •Eliminate Stovepipe operations; optimize end-to-end processes. •Deploy Systems and Services rapidly and cost effectively with a conscious focus on sound requirements management and comprehensive risk mitigation to achieve improved efficiency and effectiveness throughout the entire DoD enterprise. As the single agency responsible for DoD Enterprise business transformation functions, the BTA is establishing and enforcing requirements, principles, standards, systems, procedures, and practices governing business transformation. Defense business operations are being streamlined so that DoD can more effectively deliver warfighting capabilities, manage growing pressures on resources, and benefit from economies of scale. Better integration reduces costs by improving information quality, minimizing system customization, and allowing DoD to leverage commercial best practices in implementing business systems. The BTA vision is to be the champion for driving and accelerating improvements to business operations across the Department of Defense. The BTA vision supports consolidation and streamlining of the various DoD business transformation activities, increasing efficiency, and strengthening acquisition oversight of business transformation initiatives and systems, eliminating redundancy and overhead.
