KPI. Most of these targets will be defined through action planning
efforts.
This section indicates specific pillars individual initiatives align.
When developing action plans, OPRs and OCRs should reference
the pillars identified for their assigned initiatives against the pillar
KPIs noted in the “Human Capital Pillar Alignment” section, as
some may directly apply, and will be measured by DoD CIO through
oversight responsibilities.
Many OPRs and OCRs have a role in multiple initiatives, and some
will partner to execute actions in support of initiatives. For the
purposes of this Implementation Plan, the following terms will be
used for those partnerships:
Cyber Community Managers18: DoD CIO and PCA/
USCYBERCOM
Components: Services and 4th Estate19
