Welcome to the May 2005 issue of Pivotal Insights. Significant changes are impacting human capital management in the government; this issue outlines the highlights of the DoD’s National Security Personnel System (NSPS). We also address topical issues in other Pivotal Domain areas, Program Management, Strategic Management, and Acquisition.

We are a business research and intelligence firm providing executives with perspective and information about government. Through our newsletter, free reports and subscription services, we shine a spotlight on government’s complex decisions to reduce their inherent risk, save valuable taxpayers’ dollars, and create more agile government.

If you believe that there is an important topic that we are not addressing, or if the focus of our newsletter is not on target, please let us know.
