Organizational Performance

Successful strategy development and execution requires engagement throughout the organization, but it begins with leadership. In 2011, OIG renewed its focus on senior executive accountability for executing the organization's strategy. This focus came from two primary sources:

• measures for assessing senior executive performance in both technical and strategic areas; and
• executive sponsorship of the strategic objectives.

This direct accountability has helped drive desired change in the organization. Senior executives met or exceeded performance targets in key organizational areas, including employee job satisfaction, communication, and work-life balance.
