Homeland Security. Management Challenges Facing Federal Leadership

Abstract

Our work is based on the review of documents and interviews conducted at more than two dozen federal departments and agencies, including central management agencies such as OMB, the general Services Administration (GSA) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Additionally, due to the dynamic and evolving nature of the government's homeland security activities, some of our work described in this report has already appeared in congressional testimony in order to assist the Congress with its consideration of DHS legislation and other homeland security issues. Although we continue to examine a variety of specific homeland security activities and implications for the Congress, this report is also consistent with, and summarizes, work we have recently done in the general management areas of government transformation, strategic planning, and human capital planning.
