IEMP Business Drivers
1. Provide timely,
consistent and reliable information for management decisions:
Implement standard systems and processes, data integration,
and a single point of data entry which will eliminate reconciliation
and provide every management level with consistent data for
financial and program decision making. IEMP will also provide
analysis and reporting tools to get the right information
to the right people at the right level so that they can make
timely, informed decisions.
2. Improve
NASA's accountability and enable full cost management:
Implement full cost accounting resulting in increased accountability
by providing the means to understand cost drivers, determine
total program costs, and relate costs to value. This will
allow the Agency to manage programs using full cost management
techniques and enhance the ability to manage institutional
capabilities.
3. Achieve
efficiencies and operate effectively:
NASA must evaluate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of business processes to appropriately support mission program
requirements. Budgets and staffing levels have already been
reduced in many administrative areas. New tools are required
to ensure that processes operate effectively (the results
are what the process intended and they facilitate accomplishing
NASA values such as enhancing safety), are conducted efficiently
(reduce resources to implement the processes), and result
in overall savings to the agency (the products managed or
acquired by the process are better or cost less).
4. Exchange
information with customers and stakeholders:
Implement the infrastructure and tools that will facilitate
the free flow of information internally and externally to
increase Agency level accountability, achieve integrity of
data and information, and communicate cost effectiveness of
NASA's actions.
5. Attract
and retain a world-class workforce:
Provide tools and operational environments that contribute
to NASA's ability to attract and retain highly qualified individuals
to support the goals and objectives of the strategic enterprises
and the infrastructure of the Agency. To accomplish this,
IEMP will:
- Provide tools to enable NASA to compete with commercial
markets for highly motivated workforce representing a broad
range of skill levels;
- Provide tools to our employees that minimize frustration
and maximize their ability to perform value-added functions;
and
- Enhance the ability of employees to work in teams across
organizations and functions.
