Agencies will need to transform their cultures so that they are more results oriented, customer focused, and collaborative in nature. At the same time, GAO's work over years has amply documented that agencies are suffering from a range of long-standing management problems that are undermining their abilities to efficiently, economically, and effectively accomplish their missions and achieve results. On September 9, 2002, GAO convened a roundtable to discuss the application and the related advantages and disadvantages of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) concept and how it might apply within selected federal departments and agencies as one strategy to address certain systemic federal governance and management challenges. The invited participants have current or recent executive branch leadership responsibilities, significant executive management experience, or both. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-192SP/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-192SP.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-192SP/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-192SP.pdf GAO-03-192SP https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-192SP Other Written Product GAO-03-192SP; Highlights of a GAO Roundtable: The Chief Operating Officer Concept: A Potential Strategy To Address Federal Governance Challenges; Accountability Federal agencies General management reviews Internal controls Productivity in government
