1.1: Web Strategy

[Compile} an Agency-wide web strategy.

Other Information:

Does your Agency currently have an Agency-wide web strategy? no. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has Web governance that sets principles of operation and Web practices. HHS is a very large, federated Department consisting of 11 Operating Divisions (OPDivs), several as large as or larger than many other federal Agencies, in addition to the parent HHS Agency itself (considered for these purposes as an additional OPDiv). In general, each OPDiv Web operation is run as a separate entity. OPDivs within the department have varying levels of governance. For those organizational reasons as well as lack of funding for projects across the OPDivs, the Department has not had an Agency-wide Web strategy. Across the full Department, inconsistent adherence has been given to the principles of Web Governance established by the HHS Secretary in 2007. The HHS Web Council is now drafting revised and enhanced Agency-wide Web Governance and its associated the Web Improvement Plan for presentation to the Secretary.
