The Commercial Business Environment: Accelerating Change Through Enterprise Teaming

Abstract

The report of the Commercial Business Environment Section 912(c) Study Group, The Commercial Business Environment: Accelerating Change through Enterprise Teaming, sets forth a vision for adopting fundamental commercial best practices within the DoD business enterprise. These practices are cross-functional teaming across the enterprise and managing change, while creating and maintaining a learning organization that seeks out and adopts best practices to improve individual and organizational performance. The report describes the application of these practices to "Team Acquisition," a cross- functional approach to the end-to-end management of acquisition that embraces best practices, empowers all enterprise players, and achieves optimal solutions in support of the warfighters. The report details a business model and provides an implementation plan for accelerating and managing change that DoD can use to transition to a "Team Acquisition" type organization. The model uses rapid improvement teams to inculcate teaming across the enterprise to achieve organizational goals. This change model could be used to accelerate the Revolution in Business Affairs and implement the recommendations found in other Section 912(c) studies.
