The challenge agencies face:
OMB has instructed every department and agency to update its Strategic Plan to ensure that it reflects the priorities and strategies of this Administration. This five-year plan is the long-term blueprint defining what the agency’s leadership is committed to achieving and how it intends to do so. As new initiatives are created, they should also be reflected in the plan.
