In response to the call for a new strategic plan, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) convened five day-and-a-half-long meetings of external stakeholders in five cities: Seattle, New Orleans, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Boulder, Co. (there were two additional brief meetings in Cleveland and Puerto Rico). These external stakeholders were called together to discuss and debate what they feel the role of NOAA should be and to help brainstorm outcome goals, intermediate measures and strategies for achieving these goals. Using The Performance Institute’s Government Performance Logic Model, the stakeholders identified an extraordinarily detailed listing of directions NOAA can follow in order to develop its new strategic plan.
