10 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 10 Agenda Background Common Findings/Recommendations Individual Experiences (time permitting)

11 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 11 Introduction Corporate Fellows and DoD Transformation in 2003 – Transformation is about culture – Private sector leads in adaptation—very dynamic & competitive – Sluggish economy forcing corporate transformation – DoD transformation efforts in right direction This brief is not about computers and the Internet, however… – Networks drive transformation – IT innovation significantly leads our ability to adapt and exploit it – The private sector leads DoD in adapting to IT Organizational dynamics + IT = synergistic gain – Organization – Processes – People Many lessons to share!

12 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 12 Common Findings Organization – Understand the Core – Break Down Stovepipes Processes – Improve Processes – Share Services – Enforce Enterprise Architectures – Create Value – Reform Financial Management Personnel – Develop Future Leaders – Attract and Retain – Exploit Organizational Knowledge and Skills

13 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 13 Organization Understand the Core Corporate America focuses on core competences – Basis for market leadership and internal efficiency – Non-core activities outsourced through partnerships/alliances DoD should: – Develop and communicate DoD-wide core competences Develop warriors, adapt technology, integrate operations – Identify Service distinct capabilities Tie directly to core competence; relate to mission areas Determine overlaps, redundancy, dependencies Align organizations to produce capabilities efficiently/effectively – Partner with business for non-core activities Legislation must support mutually beneficial contract arrangements Leaders must use suitable, effective business strategies The nucleus of our capability

14 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 14 Organization Break Down Stovepipes Corporate America optimizes organizational performance – Open System Modular Organizations (Small/Medium Scale) – Integrated Matrix Structures (Large Scale) DoD should: – Small/Medium Scale (small unit task force) Develop modular organizations to improve agility Design open system organizations that plug and play into the Net Small unit joint training and operations – Large Scale (COCOMS & Services/Agencies) Align & integrate organizations around Joint core competencies Create effective DoD-wide shared services Avoid scale and seam limitations Create incentives for cooperative behavior Integration is the key!

15 Army Navy Air Force Marines Unified Combatant Commands Basic Business Unit Build/Control Budget (“P&L”) Task organization efficient DoD “Core” Matrix DoD Shared Services Provide the Services No Service Unique Enterprise Wide Web Based NORTHCOM SOUTHCOM EUCOM PACOM CENTCOM SOCOM STRATCOM TRANSCOM JFCOM Agencies Services and Agencies Hold the People ­Unique skill sets Own the Resources Train, Equip, Maintain Real Estate Logistics & Acquisition IT Services Financial Management Depot Maintenance Human Resources

16 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 16 Processes Improve Processes Corporate world uses large variety, number of tools – Lean, Six Sigma, Right First Time, Process Excellence, etc. – Tailored for incremental and big process change – Used for both admin and line processes DoD needs two kinds of approaches – Process redesign Leapfrogs, big, often zero-based – Continual improvement Incremental, marginal, symptomatic – Institutionalize both No “Department of Process Improvements” Situation drives timing and balance of each Top leadership support essential for any approach... Get the tools and use them

17 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 17 Processes Share Services Corporate America centralizes certain ‘common services’ – Common services become centralized Shared Services – Cuts costs, improves efficiency, eliminates duplication – Companies focus on their “Core Competences” DoD should: – Adopt Shared Services model from commercial industry – Identify common services to centralize Common management of more Joint DoD bases Depot Maintenance, Information Technology (IT) HR/Personnel (finance, uniformed medical, etc.) Supply Chain Management (not just logistics) Transportation – Support concepts; designate a champion – Institutionalize DoD-wide... Centralize towards efficiency!

18 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 18 Processes Enforce Enterprise Architectures Corporate America leverages industry best practices – Process improvement – Enterprise architectures – Uniform standards and enterprise systems DoD Should: – Focus on end-to-end system architectures (not just Financials) Integrated Operational (C4ISR) & Back Office systems Implement governance, processes to prioritize investments – Adopt & enforce industry accepted open standards – Implement DoD-wide self-service, web based solutions Financial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Supply Chain Management – logistics / supplier portal Human Resources Management System (HRMS) – Enable mobility with security (e.g. DoD Common Access Card) Architecture + Standards = Interoperability

19 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 19 Processes Create Value Best businesses deliver maximum value to customer – Adopt culture of eliminating waste and improving quality – Get employees to think like customers DoD should: – Review unit-level processes for value Cultural change necessary; train leaders to ask “Why?” Empower lower levels; build cross-organization horizontal relationships – Implement Lean principles in acquisition process Continue spiral development in high tech programs to reduce risk and time Give life-cycle costs more consideration in procurement decisions Revise funding practices to be responsive in technology push environment – Adopt business approach to assessing and improving productivity “Show me the numbers” More people, pieces, or process? Maximize value across the enterprise

20 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 20 Processes Reform Financial Management Private sector business model fundamentals – Simplified and standardized financial management – Incentives for efficiency and effectiveness Get DoD from “As Is” to “Should Be” – Establish new structure and guidelines first Before investing in DoD-wide systems – Adopt applicable private sector practices Minimize number of financial organizations & reporting systems Change the rules, starting with O&M “Use or Lose” Use total organization financial performance measures Develop more financial leadership from operator ranks Standards + simplicity = smart spending

21 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 21 Personnel Develop Future Leaders Rapidly evolving markets force corporate leader adaptability – Years ahead in hi-tech evolution, global markets, networks – Leaders are integrators No similar drivers for DoD – Low bandwidth government, staff processes, recent conflicts – Corporate focus gets short shrift Still too service-centric Joint still out of pocket, should be mainstream – Sunk costs tyranny, decades-long acquisition cycles – Face-to-face communications a nice, but slow, expensive luxury – Today’s military leaders are transactional Morale and execution controllers

22 SECDEF Corporate Fellows Program 22 Personnel Develop Future Leaders (cont) DoD should: – Cultivate an “Agile Vision” Blend old and new into Joint CONOPS Technology cycle times now as short as command tenure Drive underlying technology & process flexibility Disassociate people with systems Systems go obsolete, people don’t – Exploit 21st Century Communications Agile vision requires fast, complete comms to entire organization Essential in large, geographically disbursed organizations Provide, train to, expect skillful use of all media Build cultural connections Global education for trans-cultural competence at all military levels Vital to expeditionary, coalition ops with decreased overseas presence
