Implementation Plan Elements This Implementation Plan may adapt over time so the Department can best support the cyber workforce. The Implementation Plan contains several elements, or building blocks, which are defined below: Goals: Workforce specific targets that will aid the Department in unifying efforts to achieve the mission and vision of the CWF Strategy. Objectives: The set of activities and actions outlined in the CWF Strategy aligned to one of four goals. Initiatives: Milestones or set of milestones that support achievement of an objective within the CWF Strategy. Office of Primary Responsibility: The organization(s) responsible for leading execution of initiatives in collaboration with OCRs. Office of Coordinating Responsibility: The organization(s) that will coordinate with and support OPRs to execute initiatives. Key Performance Indicators: Quantifiable measures (e.g., milestones, activities, performance measures) that can be collected and analyzed to understand progress of initiative achievement over time. Pillar Alignment: The human capital pillar(s) the initiative directly impacts. Each objective is outlined further into a series of initiatives that will define more detailed actions. OPRs and OCRs are responsible for developing, coordinating and executing action plans after publication of this Implementation Plan to aid the Department in reaching the objectives and goals of the CWF Strategy. KPIs will be used to calibrate initiative success periodically (see Figure 3). They will measure what, if any, impact the initiatives are having on improving intended outcomes defined in this Implementation Plan. Continual measurement of the KPIs will help the Department make data driven decisions and determine if certain initiatives need additional focus, support, or should be deprioritized.
