Is DoD creating a new bureaucracy through the establishment of the BTA?
No. The establishment of the BTA does not create a new bureaucracy, it creates a focused vehicle for business execution and accountability. Previously, defense business transformation efforts and system investments were executed across a number of separate organizations within the Department. This structure created challenges for the organization as it worked to integrate its historically disparate business processes and systems. The BTA shifts the resources working on business process and system modernization into a unified, focused organization. In doing this, the Department is encouraging further collaboration, and achieving centralized visibility to investments in DoD-wide business modernization efforts. Establishing the BTA also provides an opportunity to minimize redundancy and reduce overhead.
