2.A: Mission Solutions
Work within and across agencies to identify solutions to mission critical problems. Other Information:
Relationship to Annual Performance Goals: OMB works continuously with the agencies on a range of management initiatives including
identifying major management problems and, in cooperation with the agency or agencies affected, attempting to find ways of
reducing or eliminating the problems. In each year's budget, major cross-cutting and agency specific management initiatives
will be presented along with approaches to solving them. OMB's role will be clearly highlighted. These presentations will
serve as one source of information for the OMB annual performance plan. Means and Strategies: For cross-cutting issues such
as credit policy, financial systems standards, the year 2000 and others, OMB will work closely with agency representatives,
the Congress, the GAO, the National Performance Review and others inside and outside government to find the best resolution
to these issues. For individual agency problems, general guidance is supplemented with the sharing of good practices and hands-on
assistance in resolving specific problems. External Factors: Responsibility for accomplishing this objective largely rests
with agency managers, who must actively and effectively carry out both agency-specific and cross-cutting management initiatives.
