Case for Change* • Central Flaw: Planning is divorced from execution • NOAA does not evaluate performance with respect to strategy • Must improve integration of multi-LO programs • Budget & execution must clearly align with strategic priorities (Strategic Plan & AGM) • PPBES is not an efficient or effective decision making process for NOAA *From Sue Kennedy briefing, 7 Apr 2010 National MIC/HIC Conference 2010
New Strategy • Align goals with Next Generation Strategic Plan • Hold LOs accountable for performance toward goals and objectives • Preserve and enhance integration expertise of Goal Teams and Program Managers • Plan and execute with “real dollars” • Make process more efficient (combining Planning and Programming Phases) National MIC/HIC Conference 2010

Waiting for Approval • Decision on transition to SEE @ 5/26 NEP • NGSP is not yet finalized • Structure of the programs, portfolios and program managers are not yet finalized • Alternative submission process will be changed – not yet specified National MIC/HIC Conference 2010
Way Ahead • Regardless of transition – must continue to think strategically! • Holding a Budget Summit for all NCEP centers & associated programs in May to • Gather common needs • Build coalitions among programs • Generate business cases for budget submissions • This same process can be done for NWS Regions/field – let me know of your interest! National MIC/HIC Conference 2010
A Final Thought… • Investment Advisory Team (IAT) • Authorized by NWS CFO • Consists of NWS staff from Programs, HQ, NCEP & the field • Creates Integrated Priority Lists (IPLs) to recommend prioritization of funding of alternatives targeting the budget planning phase • Creates Priority Reserve Lists (PRLs) to recommend prioritization of funding during execution year – using funding that may become available • IAT will be meeting late spring to create FY10 PRL National MIC/HIC Conference 2010
