摘要:
Is it possible to establish an effective strategic planning process in government agencies that operate under the constraints of the annual budget cycle? Gerald L. Barkdoll believes so, and offers the case of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an example. Through a scoping initiative started in 1989, FDA officials began a 15-month process that led to a comprehensive and analytic vision of the agency's future and the forces that would shape it. The overall result was a modest enhancement of the budgeting process as well as a long-range strategic plan for the agency. Barkdoll reviews both the positive and negative lessons emerging from the FDA scoping initiative.
