Regional Collaboration What is NOAA?

Regional Collaboration What is NOAA?

NOAA’s strength is its People

NOAA is over 12,000 people, DIVERSE in many ways!

EDUCATORSSCIENTISTSLEADERSEXPERTS

What do we have in common?Passion for Science, Environment and the NationNOAA Vision and Mission


Regional Collaboration Eye On The Vision

Regional Collaboration Eye On The Vision

“Everything you do is for a reason and that reason is contained within the vision.”

Merck & Co. chair, president and CEO Raymond Gilmartin


Regional Collaboration Eye On The Mission

Regional Collaboration Eye On The Mission

“Every business, if it is to succeed, must have a sense of direction and mission, so that no matter what you are doing, you know how you fit in, and that what you are doing is important.”

former IBM CEO Louis Gerstner


Regional CollaborationWhy?

Regional CollaborationWhy?

“Where is NOAA?”


Regional CollaborationA Brief Introduction

Regional CollaborationA Brief Introduction

NOAA’s Challenge:

How do we integrate NOAA’s products and services

regionally to serve customers’ needs?

A Collaborative Solution:

A systematic, NOAA-wide mechanism to…Bring regionally-specific customer priorities up from NOAA field offices to senior leadershipTailor national priorities in NOAA’s mission to particular regional contexts


Regional CollaborationOverarching Goals

Regional CollaborationOverarching Goals

Improved services for the benefit of NOAA’s customers

Increased value and productivity of partnerships

Improved stakeholder relations and support

Improved internal communications and efficiency across line offices and programs

A more visible and valued NOAA brandSuccess will be measured by NOAA’s ability to advance the work of the agency towards

these goals.

NOAARegional Collaboration is an evolutionary process with its roots in the 2002 Program Review Team.

PRT Purpose: “Determine if NOAA is best positioned to accomplish its missions successfully and efficiently now and in the future.”

An important result of PRT was Regional Coordination:

Learned?

Regional CollaborationWhat Have We

Learned?Review of Pilots and Other Regional Efforts

WeaknessesLack of consistent goals and expectationsWeak organizational structureDifficult to maintain NOAA-wide perspective

StrengthsInternal Coordination

Better communication and awareness of products and services across Line OfficesGreater inter-LO coordination for public events and forums

External PartnershipsBy moving from “Coordination” to “Collaboration,” we focus the effort on programmatic goals and take a systematic, agency-wide approach

Can Six Degrees of Separation Become Two?


Charge to SES Members: Innovators Dilemma

Charge to SES Members: Innovators Dilemma

Challenge: Knowing when to switch technologies!

Christensen, Clayton M. (1997). The Innovator's Dilemma. Harvard Business School Press


Charge to SES Members: Management vs.

LeadershipJames Colvard Paper



Central functions of management and leadership are different

Management: short horizon, tangible results “Doing Things Right”Looks at facts, assess statusConserve resources

Leadership: long horizon, abstract end-points“Doing the Right Things”Looks at non-existent facts, makes a decisionFocus on effectiveness

Power: Authority, Capacity, EmotionalLead by position, ability to carry out mission, and entice others to follow you






Developing Managers and Leaders:

Phases of Career Development

1. Formal Education: Abstract learning through Cognition

2. Experiential Workplace: Application of learned material with uncertainty of results—Critical phase of development

3. Supervisory roles: Peer relationships, dependence on others on task assignments

4. Transition from objective task execution to subjective decision making

5. Shift from maintaining values in an organization to creating them—Leadership phase begins


Charge to SES Members Tough Choices

Carly Fiorina


Carly Fiorina“To remain static is to lose ground.”

David Packard in “The HP Way”

“It is not the strongest of the species who survive, nor the most intelligent, but those who are most adaptive to change.”

Charles Darwin

“We were using resources, and yet we could not evaluate the productivity or efficiency. ….We didn’t even know how many employees we had on the payroll.”

Carly Fiorina

“Delay and indecision are a choice to do nothing. When the status quo is clearly unacceptable, leaders choose to act.”

Carly Fiorina from Tough Choices



Carly Fiorina


Carly Fiorina“Change takes more than an intellectual understanding of what’s required. It takes the support of others, the recognition that retreat is far worse than moving ahead, and the fortitude to keep going. And it takes a decision to lead change.”

“…change…requires communication that is authentic, clear, persistent, consistent and ubiquitous. …my rule of thumb is that real change generally requires ten times the amount of communication you originally plan.”

“In many real ways, change is an unnatural act and so requires a sustained disruption of sufficient force.”

“The goal is not perfection; the goal is progress.”

“….we are one company, not a thousand tribes.”Carla Fiorina
