Hi, 

See the attached pdf document, you'll recall we filled it out with our input last year (also attached). Please let me know if any new input has occurred to you or arisen since then.

Hi Team,

 

Please read the below message from Bob Tribble and Jack Anderson. This is similar to what we did last year for FY21 on the SWOT analysis pilot S&T operational analysis, but with a little more clarity for FY22. There were a few benefits from our SWOT analysis that started sub-committees and I thank everyone. I will go over more at the GL meeting on Monday. I have copied more of our leadership team as we move into FY22 in order for a more open and productive dialogue with the Physics Department leadership.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. My intent is to make an introduction on Monday and I would request for you to take this back to your respective teams to discuss opportunities. The following week I intend to schedule a separate meeting for us to have an open discussion on these topics with feedback from the team. Following the open discussion, I will work with NPP senior leadership to select key issues we need to address from the Physics Department and will bring back to select leadership to determine clarity if necessary NLT than 10/19/2021. Please see the attached document from last year that was submitted to the Performance Management Office as a reference. In a separate email I will share our internal Excel document we worked on in FY21.

 

Thank you all for your support in FY21 and thank you for your leadership. I am looking forward to greater opportunities in FY22. As always, please let me know how I can better support your organization.

 

Very Respectfully,

Subject: Message from Bob Tribble and Jack Anderson - S&T Operational Analysis and Planning

 

Hi Everyone,

 

In FY21 we piloted a new process for Operational Analysis and Planning by the Laboratory’s S&T organizations. The new process replaced the annual call to complete Program Execution Plans. As you are aware, planning and performance management are key elements of BNL’s Contractor Assurance System, intended to assure that Lab operations and support functions conducted by any and all Laboratory organizations, including S&T departments, are performed effectively and efficiently and that operational risks are well managed.

 

With the help of the Directorate Chief Operating Officers (DCOOs), we improved the process for FY22. Key improvements include the addition of a high-level situational analysis, a new engagement activity with the DCOOs to share institutional risk and performance information, and revision of the plan template with enhanced guidance and tables to better capture weakness/threat and assessment/monitoring information. Details about the S&T operational analysis and planning process can be found here: Operational Risk Analysis and Plan for Science and Technology Organizations.

 

Other important improvements have been implemented this year that enhance the planning and self-assessment processes.  Key updates (found in SBMS) include new definitions delineating the different types of assessments and the requirement that all self-assessments be conducted by trained and qualified staff. (see the IAP MS and Organizational Self-Assessment SA)

 

Please work with your DCOO to complete your S&T Operational Plan by Friday, November 5^th to allow for timely development/distribution of other vital FY22 CAS Plans and reports.

 

Your completed plan is to be uploaded to the Institutional Planning & Reporting SharePoint Site (folder links below).

Directorate/Organization SharePoint Links
Advanced Technology Research Office	Energy and Photon Sciences	Nuclear and Particle Physics

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stasia Ann Scocca (x3979) or Megan Quarant (x2920).

 

Thank you,

 

Bob and Jack
