Strong Record of Achievement
When the PMA was launched in 2001, OMB rated DOE red on all five government-wide PMA initiatives. On the most recent scorecard (December 31, 2004), DOE received four green status ratings and one yellow status rating, which makes it among the highest performing agencies.
This progress is a direct result of the Department’s drive toward operational excellence. From the time the PMA was announced in 2001, DOE’s senior leadership embraced its principles as an opportunity to make much-needed management reforms.
In addition, to the five government-wide initiatives, DOE has responsibility for the new Federal Real Property Initiative and the Research and Development Investment Criteria Initiative. Most recently, DOE received a green progress score on Federal Real Property and a green progress score on R&D Investment Criteria.
The record of achievement is a source of pride for everyone at DOE and the results are impressive. But the work has just begun and the challenges are great. Secretary Bodman is committed to guiding DOE to even greater achievements and delivering tangible results to our customers – the citizens of the United States.
