Improvement Assitance (posted 02/04/2002)
A number of events within the last year have led the Department
of Education to ask the National Academy of Public Administration
Foundation's (the Academy) Center for Human Resources Management
(the Center) and the Private Sector Council (PSC) to assist
Department executives and employees in developing its human
capital plan, its detailed restructuring plan, and its competitive
sourcing plan.
The Department has also asked the Academy
and PSC to provide assistance in developing a change management
strategy and plan that will facilitate implementation of the
changes that the human capital, detailed workforce restructuring
and competitive sourcing plans will require, as well as those
associated with the rest of the President's Management Agenda,
the Secretary's strategic plan, and the Department's culture
of accountability initiative. In carrying out this work, the
Academy and PSC will work with one or several teams of Department
executives and employees. A key objective of this project
is to help these individuals and the Department increase its
own capacity to develop and implement these management tools
as part of a much larger agency revitalization effort that
the Secretary has initiated.
