Reforming Federal-Level Resource Planning and Management

Abstract

Within the Federal government, and the Department of Defense, there are actions underway to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. To recognize material cost savings throughout the Federal government, the scope of resource planning and management efforts must consider the activities of individual Federal agencies. Reforming resource planning and management must include what resource savings opportunities are currently being overlooked. Effort to establish and execute policy to avoid unnecessary monetary outlay must become a Federal government priority. The resources saved through a Federal-level look at resource planning and management may be applied to enhance other elements of national power and, ultimately, to securing the national interests of the United States. The many challenges associated with implementing organizational change must be overcome to allow development and implementation of strategy and policy necessary to achieve savings.
