Defense Management Initiatives
Limited Progress in Implementing Management Initiatives Gao ID: T-AIMD-94-105 April 14, 1994GAO testified on two major Defense Department (DOD) initiatives: the Defense Business Operations Fund and the Corporate Information Management (CIM) initiatives. These efforts, if implemented as intended, could improve the effectiveness of DOD operations and yield cost savings and other efficiencies. To date, however, DOD has had only limited success in achieving the objectives of the Fund and CIM. GAO discusses DOD's progress in implementing these two initiatives and the problems that must be overcome in order to achieve success.
