Way-Ahead: Action Planning While this Implementation Plan sets out the plan to achieve the priorities set by the CWF Strategy, the real work to achieve that success will occur during action planning. Within 90 days of the publication of the Implementation Plan, OPRs and OCRs must provide their action plans to DoD CIO for review and approval. OPRs and OCRs can reference the “Initiative and Pillar Crosswalk” (Appendix A) to identify the pillars assigned initiatives directly impact. Organizations can reference the “Action Planning Template” (Appendix B) during action planning sessions to ensure that plans examine and monitor similar criteria across efforts. Page 42 DoD CIO will meet with OPRs and OCRs on a regular basis (e.g., monthly, bi-monthly) to discuss action planning progress, identify dependencies and prepare for reporting requirements. Select OPRs and OCRs will then provide their progress on a quarterly basis to the CWMB based on a predefined schedule.
