Strategic Management of Human Capital - Kay Coles James
Winning the Game With Succession Planning
November 11, 2003 - "The focus on human capital management has encouraged agencies to begin developing succession plans so they can be better prepared for whatever the future may bring. Like any playbook - for succession planning to work within an agency it needs solid planning, top-level commitment, planned investment, and managerial accountability. Many agencies have taken the opportunity to move beyond crisis management and instituted effective human capital strategies to address future losses while recruiting and retaining a high-quality, diverse workforce."

Commercial Services Management -
Reasoned
and Responsible Public-Private Competition
November 14, 2003 -
"When the PMA was first announced, few, if any, agencies other than the Department of Defense (DOD) had a significant history of using competitive sourcing. As a result, in the past, most in-house providers of commercial services were not motivated to improve their organizations as they likely would have been if faced with competition. Today, the picture is far different. Civilian agencies across government are positioning themselves to improve many of their day-to-day operations through the strategic application of public-private competition. Of particular importance, agencies are taking steps to ensure sound planning and effective use of competitive sourcing."

Managing for Results
November 14, 2003 - "Undeterred by the winds of Hurricane Isabel, Clay Johnson testified before the House Government Reform Committee about the Administration.s effort to make the government more results-oriented. He said, 'Managing for results is still a new way of thinking for the Federal government. But it is doable and, because we are managing in times of continued budgetary constraints, it is necessary. This will happen. We will bring about this historic change in government management together.' The way we are bringing about this results orientation is by achieving the goals of the Budget and Performance Integration Initiative."
