Managing Enterprise Transformation

The BTA seeks to enable an enterprise-view of defense business performance and serve the corporate needs of the entire Business Mission Area in an integrated way. The BTA supports enterprise business transformation by centralizing resources, funding, and oversight of execution of DoD-wide business transformation activity as directed by the DBSMC.

The BTA has developed a culture of continuous improvement to encourage a mind-set that says, "every six months, things get better." Continuous improvement relies on tangible outcomes that are measurable, that impact the warfighter and that create transparency to the taxpayer.
To support the strategic objectives for business transformation, the BTA is focused on:

• Aligning Support to the Warfighter by including the warfighter perspective in everything that we do—from priorities and requirements to architecture and investment management and program execution.
• Providing Meaningful Metrics for each Business Capability improvement by assigning responsibility and reporting measurements on DoD’s business transformation progress.
• Evolving the Business Enterprise Architecture by defining transformational content, providing it in more usable formats, and helping the users employ it.
• Rationalizing the Enterprise by 1) defining the appropriate role for Enterprise-level vs. Component-level solutions; 2) determining the appropriate balance between systems, standards, and data for the Enterprise-level solutions; and 3) enabling business agility through Service-Oriented and Federated Architecture.
• Supporting Accelerated Deployment of Component ERPs by leveraging best practices across DoD ERP implementation initiatives and working toward rapid adoption of DoD-wide information and process standards.
• Implementing a Risk-based Approach to Managing the Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) that enables early involvement of stakeholders and provides better, faster Business Capability improvements and greater investment return.
• Finalizing a Sustainment Strategy to maintain each system after it achieves Full Operational Capability.
• Building BTA’s Workforce and Culture through a human capital strategy focused on building competencies to integrate and execute DoD’s business transformation efforts.
• Delivering on Commitments as depicted in the Enterprise Transition Plan.
