Performance Review Seeks to Streamline DoD
Abstract
In light of the post-Cold War environment and the declining resources available for national defense, the Department of Defense recognized the need for reinvention and had begun to incorporate the principles of quality and excellence into its operations. DoD created its own team, the Defense Performance Review, to identify and build on recent successful innovations and to review primary management functions. The review's objective has been to devise innovative ways to encourage more business-like practices and market-driven efficiencies. In addition, DoD has already undertaken several departmental initiatives, including the restructuring of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Bottom-up Review of military requirements, and a renewed approach to acquisition reform. The Defense Performance Review reinvention team has taken account of these programs and built on recent efforts in other areas that are consistent with National Performance Review objectives. DoD established six task forces to undertake a systematic and comprehensive look at specific areas in which the department could use the National Performance Review philosophy to implement change.
