Strategies

Strengthen governance, enterprise risk management and strategic decision making across HHS to better pursue opportunities and address risks

  • Mature, integrate, and apply an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework across the Department and its Divisions to guide collaborative governance within the federated operating environment, leading to more risk informed strategic decision making.
  • Strengthen the strategic management and planning capacity of the Department and its Divisions to accelerate programmatic impact to improve health, public health, and human services outcomes.

Create a culture of change at HHS to support continuous improvement in program and mission delivery

  • Foster the development and success of “communities of practice” and bodies of knowledge throughout the Department to share information, best practices, and create opportunities to cross organizational boundaries to create innovative, responsive solutions.
  • Facilitate collaboration and coordination to increase the use of change management, strategic management, and human-centered design tools and techniques to improve customer experience and program and project management across HHS.
