During the past six years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has implemented a Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System (PPBES) similar to that employed at the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). NOAA adopted this system to achieve compliance with external demands for improved strategic management and performance based budgeting, as set forth in the President's Management Agenda and Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). According to NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 216111 (June 2007; Appendix 2), the goals of PPBES are fourfold: To continuously and systematically assess internal and external environments to anticipate future opportunities and challenges; To ensure NOAA satisfies statutory and regulatory duties assigned to it; To attempt to satisfy the highest priority needs of NOAA's customers; and To improve resource utilization. Functionally, PPBES is a requirements based, integrated series of processes that: Uses NOAA's strategic vision and mission to drive annual investment and management priorities, programmatic and policy choices, and budget and organizational development; Provides a systematic approach to reviewing performance and progress, allocating resources optimally to satisfy NOAA's statutory and regulatory duties, and to maximize programmatic impact; and Identifies, analyzes, and resolves key policy, organizational, and managerial decisions that are critical to NOAA's success. |
