1. Create and reinforce a corporate perspective within the Senior Executive Service that supports governmentwide culture change. To change the culture of the executive branch, a corporate approach to managing executive resources will be needed. Although agencies have primary responsibility for engendering change within their own organizations, the director of OPM is an important link between the government as a whole and individual agencies. As a leader for change and a consultant to agency management, OPM should foster a corps of executives with a corporate vision, committed to fundamental change over the long term and, at the same time, reflective of the civil service values of merit and diversity. OPM can work toward this goal in the following ways: --- Ensuring that the corporate vision for change is adequately reflected in OPM's governmentwide management development curricula (e.g., the Federal Executive Institute and the Management Development Centers); OPM will ensure that management development emphasizes the vision of government in the 21st century, the ways executives will foster that change effort, and concepts for a more effective executive SES corps. --- Recommending governmentwide SES policies and management development strategies in support of government culture change efforts. --- Overseeing an executive information system that both supports the executive search process and provides status reports on the SES in support of policy decisions, agency succession planning, and development efforts.
