GAO Report – Defense Business Transformation

Defense Business Transformation – Improvements Made but Additional Steps Needed to Strengthen Strategic Planning and Assess Progress, GAO-13-267, Feb 12, 2013

  • “DOD spends billions of dollars each year to maintain key business operations intended to support the warfighter. In 2005, GAO identified DOD’s approach to business transformation as high-risk because DOD had not established management responsibility, accountability, and control over business transformationrelated activities and resources, and it lacked a plan with specific goals, measures, and mechanisms to monitor progress. GAO previously reported that DOD has taken steps to develop a management approach. This report addresses DOD’s progress in (1) incorporating key strategic planning elements into its transformation plan; and (2) developing and implementing an approach for assessing DOD-wide progress toward business goals. GAO analyzed relevant DOD documents, reviewed prior and ongoing GAO work; and interviewed DOD officials.”
