5: World-Class Engineering Organization

Be a world-class public engineering organization

Other Information:

Goal 5 is focused on ensuring that the Civil Works mission is performed in a technically skilled manner so as to build respect and confidence in the products and services the Corps delivers today and into the future. Building trust will come from the integrity of our engineering and scientific evaluations and recommendations, the soundness of our management decisions, the transparency of our decision-making process, the reliability and effectiveness of our business processes, and the contributions we make to the state-of-the-art within and across our core technical disciplines. To achieve Goal 5, we must pay attention to people, processes, fiscal responsibility, efficiencies, and technology. The President’s Management Agenda helps us focus on major organizational effectiveness aspects central to being a world-class organization: human talent, financial integrity, sound business practices, and the advantages that technology offers, especially to bring government closer to citizens. We have set three objectives to move toward Goal 5. We will draw upon the ongoing plans we have drafted in support of the President’s Management Initiatives to make headway toward these objectives.

Objective(s):

5.1: Technical Leadership

5.2: Budgeting and Financial Performance

5.3: Techology/eGovernment
