Task Group on the Role of a Chief Management Officer in the Department of Defense

Abstract

In support of the Department's ongoing transformation efforts to most efficiently align business operations to support the warfighter, the Deputy Secretary of Defense requested that the Defense Business Board (DBB) form a Task Group to make recommendations to fix the organizational structure of the Department, specifically examining the role of a Chief Management Officer (CMO) or a similar type of position. The Task Group was asked to provide advice on the most effective way to resolve issues related to organizational design, leadership, and accountability and to establish realistic expectations for progress. Specifically, the Task Group was asked to examine what changes in the Department's governance structure would help identify a senior leader with the authority to manage the day-to-day business operations of the Department while also serving as a focal point for Department-wide business transformation.
