DHS: Essential Technology Task Force

Department of Homeland Security: Essential Technology Task Force, June 25 2008 (PDF, 24 pages)

  • “The Department is suffering from systemic weaknesses in its ability to accept and manage change in technologies essential
    to its missions. Many of these ongoing weaknesses have been identified in GAO reports, Congressional oversight hearings, and media reports. A contributing factor is that after five years in existence, the Department does not have a homeland security strategic planning process that provides a coherent, objectively measurable, and repeatable method for setting program and budgetary priorities and trade-offs among the long list of possible desired operational end states. The DHS strategic plan must have clearly defined objectives with tactical, measurable steps for achieving
    those objectives.”
