Defense Acquisitions: Goals and Associated metrics Needed to Assess Progress in Improving Service Acquistion

By U.S. Government Accountability Office

Our prior work has found that DOD's approach to managing service acquisition has tended to be reactive and has not fully addressed key factors for success at either the strategic or transactional level. The strategic level is where the enterprise sets the direction or vision for what it needs, captures knowledge to enable more informed management decisions, ensures enterprisewide goals and objectives are achieved, determines how to go about meeting those needs, and assesses the resources it has to achieve desired outcomes. The strategic level also sets the context for the transactional level, where the focus is on making sound decisions on individual acquisitions.
