Kathleen Hicks, a senior fellow with the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted in InsidethePentagon.com, "Defense Officials Eye Tweaking of Core DOD Management Tool."
Pentagon officials are eying an expansion of the Defense Department’s bedrock resource management mechanism by adding a formal process for assessing how well the department’s plans, programs and budgets help meet national security goals, sources tell InsideDefense.com. [ . . .]
Kathleen Hicks, a former Pentagon official and now a senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for International and Strategic Studies, said DOD officials are “on the right track” in contemplating the integration of a formal assessment process into PPBS.
“It’s incredibly important to assess of how we connect the ways, ends and means,” she said.
But, she argued, the success of the process will depend on how Pentagon leaders configure their staffs to conduct assessments and implement the findings.
