The Case for Change

• Government is on a “burning platform,” and the status quo way of doing business is unacceptable for a variety of reasons, including:

• Past fiscal trends and significant long-range challenges

• Rising public expectations for demonstrable results and enhanced responsiveness

• Selected trends and challenges having no boundaries

• Additional resource demands due to recent terrorism events in the United States

• Government performance/accountability and high risk challenges, including the lack of effective human capital strategies
