2. All executive branch employees should attend appropriate educational sessions on strategic and quality management, to include the criteria for the Presidential Award for Quality. (2) To help achieve his vision of managing for results, the President should require training in strategic and quality management. The responsibility for undertaking this effort will rest with FQI in its role as facilitator of strategic and quality management in the federal government. The objective of these educational sessions is to engage federal workers in the vision for transforming government through the use of strategic and quality management principles. It should also encourage management and agency employees to conduct their business according to these principles. The sessions should also include a component describing the role of performance measurement, as envisioned under the Government Performance and Results Act, as well as the basic findings and recommendations of NPR. The educational sessions should help agencies, managers, and employees link organizational change issues, performance planning and measurement, strategic and quality management, budget decisionmaking, and financial reporting. The first session will be given to the President, Vice-President, and cabinet members. This initiative should be based on a "cascading" approach that calls for leaders, after participating in the educational session, to personally conduct a session for their immediate subordinate employees. Consequently, this approach would reflect commitment by top management and send a clear message regarding the expectation of the organization's leadership.
