The Office of Organizational Excellence leads and manages activities enabling NWS to become the agile and effective organization needed to build a Weather-Ready Nation. The Office plans and oversees organizational changes based on recommendations of two independent studies of the National Weather Service: “Weather Services for the Nation: Becoming Second to None,” National Academy of Sciences (NAS), 2012, and “Forecast for the Future: Assuring the Capacity of the National Weather Service,” National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), May 2013. The Office also administers a framework for change which enables and facilitates continuous evolution of the National Weather Service. The Office focuses on large-scale, significant changes to the organizational structure, infrastructure, or operations of the National Weather Service. The Office coordinates and oversees transition activities, and evaluates if changes implemented are effective and meet the intent of study recommendations. The Office manages the framework for change process, as well as communication of change activities to both internal and external stakeholders by working closely with the Office of Planning and Programming for Service Delivery (OPPSD), Portfolio Offices, and the Communications and Legislative Affairs in the Office of the Chief of Staff.
