H-19 LABORATORY, PLANT, AND SITE STRATEGIC PLANNING GUIDANCE [MODIFIED IN MODIFICATION P00067] A key element to sound laboratory stewardship and governance is a shared strategic level vision for the future of the laboratory and the strategic investments necessary across mission support areas to assure the laboratory’s continued future vitality and capability to perform its missions. To aid in strengthening this alignment, the M&O partner leadership from each NNSA Laboratory shall work in coordination with NNSA field office and HQ functional and program leadership in developing and presenting annual laboratory strategic plans. To enable a uniform and consistent reporting approach and to allow for the process to evolve and change as necessary, NNSA will provide annual report and presentation guidance. The information from these activities provides the starting point for periodic and continuous discussions between the DOE/NNSA and management and operating partners’ leadership about the site’s future directions, immediate and long range challenges, and resource needs. The results of these activities are intended to ensure alignment with agency goals, priorities, and budgets.
