Strategic Objectives: Charting the Course

Defense Business Transformation is about changing business operations across the DoD to be more agile, lean, rapid, and nimble. The Department’s four strategic objectives for business transformation are:

• Providing support for the joint warfighting capability of the DoD.
• Enable rapid access to information for strategic decisions.
• Reduce the cost of defense business operations.
• Improve financial stewardship to the American people.
  

Transformation is led by the Defense Business Systems Management Committee, and its chair, the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The Defense Business Transformation Agency (BTA), established in October 2005, supports these tools and the Department's Business Transformation goals. The BTA serves as a catalyst for transformation by coordinating, consolidating, and integrating the Department's activities at the DoD Enterprise Level.
