“Lynn was a consummate professional.” “Lynn was a great Instructor and sets the bar.” These are comments from my FPM 333, Progressive Business, Cost and Financial Management class.
A common issue that I find from class discussions is an agency’s IT Enterprise Strategy – or lack thereof. Though federal agencies are mandated to have an IT strategy, try finding it. And this is to say nothing about a Concept of Operations.
A senior executive stated that when new executives come into place, particularly political appointees, there is a lack of understanding or willingness to comply with federal mandates.
These mandates, some from the Office of Management and Budget and the Government Accounting Office, to name just two, are really good and reflect a great deal of thought. Oh well.
I am more than willing to assist senior leaders. The workforce is getting trained.
