National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) creates plans and budgets using the Program Planning, Budgeting, and Execution System—known throughout the federal government as PPBES. The agency found that their employees were having difficulty with PPBES, and other issues, even after numerous training courses. Through OPM TMA, Carney partnered with Management Concepts International (MCI), to develop training and performance solutions. However, Carney helped NOAA realize that the problem could not be adequately addressed only through better training—though that was a key component of the solution—but rather would require the agency to address some of its organizational issues, communication issues, and issues with the PM role. Carney helped NOAA to develop a series of narrowly targeted training sessions while simultaneously offering recommendations to address the related issues.
