Department of Defense, Joint Staff (JS)
Budget Allocation, Capabilities Planning, IT Selection, and Source Selection
The Joint Staff uses Decision Lens for decision processes across and within the staff components. The Comptroller is using the Decision Lens solution to prioritize initiatives and allocate available funding for those projects deemed to provide the most value to the organization. This provides the Comptroller with an explicit and rational process for budget decisions that build consensus among representatives from each of the Joint Staff offices. Additionally, various staff sections are using Decision Lens internally for budget allocation. The Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment Directorate, J-8, is using the solution for capabilities-based planning in order to prioritize military capabilities and capability gaps within the various DoD commands. The Office of the CIO is utilizing the solution for target architecture, portfolio management, and procurement related decision-making. The Logistics Directorate, J-4, is using the Decision Lens Suite to prioritize key tasks and allocate human capital resources to those areas that the solution has helped identify as the most critical.
