handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaqlv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SGAO Accountability * Integrity Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 June 18, 2004 The Honorable Jo Ann Davis Chairwoman Subcommittee on Civil Service and Agency Organization Committee on Government Reform House of Representatives Subject: Posthearing Questions Related to Agencies' Implementation of the Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Act Dear Madam Chairwoman: On May 18, 2004, I testified before your Subcommittee at a hearing entitled First Year on the Job: Chief Human Capital Officers.' This letter responds to your request that I provide answers to follow-up questions from the hearing. Your questions, along with my responses, follow. 1. You indicated the importance of a strategic plan to provide a sense of direction for the Council and that a draft plan has been prepared. Do you anticipate a timely completion of the plan? We have not identified any barriers or obstacles that would prevent the Council from completing its strategic plan, which is in draft, in a timely manner, although the Council has not established a target date for completion. The strategic plan is an organization's starting point and foundation for defining what the organization seeks to accomplish, identifying the strategies it will use to achieve desired results, and then determining how well it succeeds in reaching results-oriented goals and achieving objectives. Developing a strategic plan can help the Council clarify organizational priorities and unify the Council's members in the pursuit of shared goals. 2. Aside from winning the war on talent as alluded to in your testimony, what, in your view, are other pressing human capital issues facing the federal government today and how should the CHCO Council address those issues? The nation's large and growing long-term fiscal imbalance and a range of other 21st century challenges are driving a fundamental transformation of the federal 'U.S. General Accounting Office, Human Capital: Observations on Agencies' Implementation of the Chief Human Capital Officers Act, GAO-04-800T (Washington, D.C.: May 18, 2004).
