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
