Implementation

The success of our strategy relies not only in the plan itself but in our ability to execute it. Our strategy must be integrated into everyday decision-making, reflected in our resource investments, and supported by all of our employees. Management processes must be fine-tuned to support strategic action at all levels and encourage integration with budgeting and performance management. To guide the implementation of the plan, NWS is developing two supporting roadmaps for services and science and technology that describe in more detail how and when we will execute the objectives and strategies needed to achieve our vision and goals. The Services Roadmap, being developed by a NWS-wide team and managed by the NWS Office of Climate, Water, and Weather Services, will define NWS operational and human capital strategies needed over the next ten years. The Services Roadmap will be supported by the Science and Technology (S&T) Roadmap, being developed by a NWS-wide team and managed by the NWS Office of Science and Technology. The S&T Roadmap will enable enterprise solutions and allow for continuous improvements across the NWS science service areas.
