It’s 2010 and Congress has decided that the Pentagon has goten too big and that there is too much “bureaucra􀆟c bloat” – meaning that it takes too long to make decisions and that, despite the percep􀆟on that the work has not increased, the number of people working at DOD headquarters has increased substan􀆟ally over the last 30 years. Consequently, Congress has legislated a 25% cut in personnel to all offices in the Pentagon. Your sponsor, an office in the Pentagon, has asked you to help it accommodate this 25% cut. Op􀆟ons include everything from simply elimina􀆟ng posi􀆟ons but keeping the work and the structure the same to completely revamping all processes and the structure of the office. 1. How would you determine the best path forward for this office to get to a 25 percent cut in personnel? 2. Which resources above would you use, and how? 3. What else might you ask for? 4. What other questions would you want answered? 5. What assumptions might you need to make?
