MICT in Action UNCLASSIFIED • MICT provides effective tools at all levels • Honest assessments include unit self identification of weaknesses and deficiencies • Units resolve localized deficiencies by applying the right resources and/or corrective actions at the right time • MAJCOM Functional Manager awareness of enterprise-wide, systemic, and/or localized deficiencies • Visibility at the right level for corrective action(s) • MAJCOM IG validates unit self-identified findings, using risk-based sampling techniques • HAF/SAF uses MICT results to influence policy and resource decision making almost real time
MICT Risks UNCLASSIFIED • Not answering checklists honestly and accurately…every time • Not recognizing correct root causes of deficiencies • Not creating and following through with meaningful corrective response plans • Leaders stifling self-identified deficiencies—non-compliance should not be seen as measure of fault or leadership effectiveness • Culture must accept finding non-compliance • Checklists are guides—not all inclusive • Entire AFI, Tech Order, Policy Letter, etc. is inspectable • Well-written checklists cover the basics, but cannot address all aspects of unit health • Leadership involvement is critical
