Title:
Are Savings Goals an Effective Tool for Managing the Pentagon?
Report Date:
2019-07-01
Abstract:
In March 2018, John Gibson, the Pentagon's first full-time Chief Management Officer, endorsed a Defense Business Board Study that suggested that the Department of Defense could save as much as $125 billion by becoming more efficient. Gibson established nine business reform teams that covered every aspect of defense management and support and boasted that "we actually added three areas" to the lines of business suggested by the Board. In May, Gibson committed to a lesser but still ambitious goal of achieving $46 billion in savings over a five-year period. By the end of the year, Gibson was out of office, apparently fired by the Secretary of Defense for "lack of performance."
