Appendix 4 – FY 2013 Planned Objectives by Strategic Goal (continued)

Table of Contents >

Goal Five: Promote Commission excellence through executive direction and leadership, organizational and individual performance management, and effective management of resources.

Commission excellence reflected in the achievement of the agency’s strategic mission and goals depends on clear executive direction, strong and focused management, and a well-resourced, dedicated and productive workforce. These attributes of a high-performing organization combine to support and drive the critical work of the Commission to provide a sound regulatory oversight and enforcement program for the American people. To ensure the Commission’s continued success, continuity of operations and adaptation to the ever-changing markets it is charged with regulating, the Commission must maintain a well-qualified workforce supported by a modern information technology infrastructure and working environment.

During the next five years, the Commission will develop and implement a host of rules many of which address the Dodd-Frank requirements and many of which will also alter and expand the Commission’s mission and operation. To successfully develop, implement and manage these rules, the Commission requires unambiguous and timely direction, the right quantity and quality of staff, aligned in an optimal operating structure supported by the necessary training and development, tools and resources.
