A One NOAA Vision

Where Will We Be In 5 Years?/ Communication/ Integration/ Strengthening Corporate NOAA/ Organizational Excellence/ Mission Excellence

Where Will We Be In 5 Years?

One NOAA – January 2010

COMMUNICATION: One NOAA Voice, “360° Listening”

Transparency of Mission – Internal & External to NOAA/ NOAA Management actively listens to employees,

incorporates feedback into practices / Employees understand & “live” the mission – ensures long-

term care & feeding of NOAA / External needs of society are driving internal administrative

requirements – external partners have stake in the outcome

/ Buy-in from community/stakeholders puts Average Joe/Joan in NOAA’s Corner

Page 14: Vision For NOAA’s Future Putting the Pieces Together VADM Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., USN (Ret.) Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere

Communications Pathway to a Solution

Create a corporate NOAA Office of Communications/ Focus on:

, (a) internal NOAA communication and messaging, (b) coordinating consistency of message across media, public,

legislative, NOAA employees

/ Partner, at least initially, with best of breed organizations to jumpstart initiative.

, Get expert assessment of NOAA’s best practices in communications

/ Provide central infrastructure for all NOAA public information, Task CIO, Office of Communications, Education Office and Public

Affairs to create IT infrastructure and process that leverages knowledge-based management approaches (including “push-pull”) to communicate effectively both internally and externally

/ Reinforce the NOAA Brand/Image, NOAA vs. NWS, for example
