GOAL 1 Execute consistent capability assessment and analysis processes to stay ahead of force needs. T he Department must continue to develop processes that align workforce metrics to mission requirements while operationalizing risk-based decisions that can be tailored to key workforce segments at each echelon of the enterprise. This is required to maintain a clear understanding of capability needs across the Department and drive agile decision making in today’s complex threat environment. To effectively address this goal, the Department should compel the use of a common foundation for workforce evaluations, as well as expand the use of proven capability assessment processes and supporting analytical tools with built-in quality assurance mechanisms. Together, these activities will ensure the Department is able to assess current capabilities, project future workforce trends and proactively adjust resources to support leadership priorities and varied DoD mission sets. Goal 1 Objectives: 1.1 Implement a repeatable capability and workforce requirement review process to ensure identified needs reflect environmental demands. 1.2 Expand and refine frameworks to better support requirements identification. 1.3 Utilize advanced analytic capabilities to increase the speed, accuracy and efficiency of capability and requirement reviews. 1.4 Establish a repository of organizations with known capabilities to better identify partnership or pipeline sources. Include nontraditional or under-represented capability sources to bring in new solutions. 14
