Government Printing Office: Advancing GPO's Transformation Effort through Strategic Human Capital Management;Report to the Congress

摘要

The Government Printing Office (GPO) has undertaken the task of transforming itself in response to pressing fiscal and other realities in the 21st century. This report focuses on actions GPOs leaders can take to advance its transformation efforts through strategic human capital management and is a part of GAOs response to a congressional request that GAO conduct a general management review of GPO that focuses on issues related to GPOs management and transformation. GAO plans to address other management topics, including strategic planning and financial management, in a series of reports that may assist GPO in its ongoing transformation efforts. GAO makes many interrelated recommendations that reflect the important role of human capital in GPOs ongoing transformation. These recommendations provide a framework to reinforce GPOs initial transformation efforts and enhance its future efforts. We provided a draft of this report in September 2003 to the Public Printer for review and comment. GPOs Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Chief Human Capital Officer provided comments orally and by e-mail on behalf of GPO generally agreeing with the content, findings, and recommendations in the draft report.
