COMMANDANT'S EXECUTIVE BUSINESS PLAN (EBP)
1994
The goals and objectives contained in the Commandant's Direction (COMDTINST 16010.12, 10
Aug 1994) are the foundation of the Commandant's Executive Business Plan (EBP) for the next
four years. These goals and objectives are directly aligned with the DOT Strategic Plan. Because
of this alignment, the EBP is not inclusive of all Coast Guard missions, programs and day to day
operations. However, it is critical to the long term strength of the Coast Guard that the items
currently addressed in the EBP receive the highest attention over the next four years. By necessity,
the EBP cannot include everything the Coast Guard does; if everything is a priority, then nothing is.
The day to day operations of the Coast Guard as a uniformed military service, providing the highest
quality of service to our many customers, remains a central priority of the Commandant and top
management, even if not specifically addressed in the EBP. It is essential for program directors and
managers to continue to use other documents such as the Commandant's Vision, planning and
programming guidance, and legislative obligations, along with the EBP, in the development of
Coast Guard plans and policies. The EBP is intended to:
1.
Assist the Commandant in measuring and evaluating Coast Guard's accomplishments versus
program accomplishments,
2.
Identify senior management expectations of program directors and field commanders, and
3.
Provide corporate guidance/information to program directors and managers in developing
program planning documents, i.e., Program Descriptions, Program Directions and Program
Business Plans.
At the Spring 1994 Flag Conference, the Board of Directors developed milestones for monitoring
progress toward accomplishing the goals and objectives. The EBP, like any other planning
document, is not set in concrete. The EBP will be reviewed, discussed, revised and improved by
the Board of Directors annually. Changes to the EBP should be addressed to the three- star
Guidance Team for further discussion and future revisions.
