Management Strategies and Issues
This plan describes the expected performance outcomes based on a
particular level of funding. Performance outcomes are largely impacted by
the points within a problem or situation at which the Coast Guard decides
to intervene, and by the particular strategies and activities undertaken.
However, the Coast Guard's internal management goals and strategies also
greatly influences how well the Coast Guard can achieve performance goals,
especially in this era of constrained budgets.
The challenge is not just to achieve the Strategic Goals, but to meet them
as efficiently as possible. Efficiency is pursued through internal
management goals that address workforce skill, technological development,
and quality management. Management goals are not performance goals, but
rather serve to more efficiently achieve performance goals. Efficiency
through management goals is not free, however; it requires carefully
planned investment to save. Establishing the appropriate strategy to guide
activities, while managing for efficiency can be summed up as doing the
"RIGHT THINGS RIGHT." The Coast Guard is committed to providing outcomes
the public expects in the most efficient manner possible.
Commandant's Direction
The Commandant's Direction is a set of emphasis areas and objectives that
guide the Coast Guard in managing its operations and resources. It
describes what mangers will emphasize to ensure the Coast Guard remains on
track with the long-term vision outlined in Coast Guard 2020. The five
areas of emphasis and their associated objectives address key aspects of
performance such as management and productivity that are necessary for the
organization to achieve its strategic outcomes and performance goals.
