Federal Manager's Daily Report

An association dedicated to advancing strategic thought

has awarded the Federal Aviation Administration its 2004

Richard Goldman Strategic Planning Award in recognition

of FAA’s “Flight Plan 2004–2005.”


A panel of judges drawn from corporate and academic

specialists in strategy and management selected the

flight plan for “competency in strategy formulation;

utilization of industry trends; knowledge and use of

customer data; realization of strategic goals; application

of earlier lessons; innovation; and use of performance

measures to determine successes,” FAA has announced.


It said the flight plan, updated yearly and scalable to

specific budgets, “sets measurable goals and initiatives

to achieve increased aviation safety, greater airspace

capacity, international leadership, and organizational

excellence,” and that it directly supports the Department

of Transportation
