Publisher description
Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : The Office, [2000] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)46323390 Subject: Administrative agencies -- United States -- Management. Excerpt: ... A central focal point can play the essential role of ensuring that our system sustains attention to management and other crosscutting issues needed to improve government performance. Increasingly the challenges that we face are multidimensional problems that cut across numerous programs, agencies, and governmental tools. Although the respective departments and agencies should have the primary responsibility and accountability to address their own issues, central leadership has the responsibility to keep everyone focused on the big picture by identifying the agenda of governmentwide issues needing attention and ensuring that related efforts are complementary rather than duplicative. The challenge is to decide which approach - or mix of approaches - is most appropriate to building and sustaining the support necessary to resolve a given management problem over the long term. The real responsibility for addressing these problems rests with the departments and agencies and the networks of third parties they rely on to delivery program services. As I have stated before, the support of agencies is particularly critical if we are to transition government to more results-oriented business processes, structures, and cultures. Accordingly, the task facing central leadership is not to fulfill the nearly impossible role of identifying and resolving all major problems itself. Rather, it is to serve as the catalyst and strategist to prompt agencies and other critical players to come to the table and take ownership for addressing the agenda of governmentwide management issues. As we have discussed, a number of approaches are already used in which OMB plays a more supportive role, thereby emphasizing and reinforcing the accountability of departments and agencies to take ownership and implement needed changes.
