Submitter's Note: This plan has been inferred and rendered in StratML format by ChatGPT in dialog focusing on Ian Metzger's posting on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ivanmetzger_applications-are-open-for-the-us-strategy-activity-7491110248330547201-M-nc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAACRo-wBsB6AJXaqtz06r_wMwIYVUJtr0PM ^^ It has been lightly edited in the form at https://stratml.us/forms/Claude/Part1.html U.S. General Services Administration GSA _8f748d10-a65d-46bb-9f16-9a028933f03d Sponsors the U.S. Strategy Data Fellowship to explore AI-ready strategy data and visualization capabilities supporting government execution. Office of Government-wide Policy Leads the U.S. Strategy Data Fellowship and coordinates development of AI-ready strategy data capabilities. Federal Agencies Develop, publish, execute, and report strategic plans, performance plans, and performance reports. State Governments May voluntarily publish interoperable strategic plans and collaborate with Federal agencies on shared priorities. Tribal Governments May voluntarily publish interoperable strategic plans and participate in cross-government coordination. Territorial Governments May voluntarily participate in interoperable strategy management initiatives. Regional Governments May coordinate strategic priorities spanning multiple jurisdictions. Local Governments May voluntarily publish interoperable strategic plans and coordinate implementation with other jurisdictions. Academic Institutions Contribute research, evaluation methods, and technical expertise supporting strategy data and visualization. Nonprofit Organizations Contribute expertise, technology, and collaborative support for public-sector strategy management. Strategy Practitioners Apply strategy data, visualizations, and decision-support tools to improve organizational performance. Information Technology Professionals Develop and maintain systems supporting interoperable strategy data, APIs, visualizations, and AI-enabled analysis. Standards Development Organizations Develop and maintain open standards supporting interoperability of public-sector strategy information. Governments at every level coordinate more effectively through interoperable, machine-readable strategic information. _26a9773f-2133-4322-b089-e037715a3df9 To develop AI-ready representations of public-sector strategic plans and transform them into tools supporting coordinated execution and improved public results. _ffaf3ae3-3eb2-4bc0-ba95-acf724ecf6d6 Interoperability Promote compatible representations of strategic information across organizational boundaries. Transparency Enable public access to machine-readable strategic information. Evidence Base coordination and execution upon reliable strategic data. Strategy Data Create interoperable, AI-ready strategic data resources. _d448f058-0a2f-4798-8b12-ee4554c68ccc 1 A unified inventory of public-sector strategic plans provides the foundation for AI-assisted analysis, visualization, and coordination. Initial emphasis should be placed on Federal agencies while designing the approach so that it can be extended voluntarily to State, Tribal, territorial, regional, and local governments. Existing machine-readable standards, including StratML (ISO 17469-1), should be leveraged wherever practical to maximize interoperability and minimize redundant data modeling. Strategic Plan Inventory Create and maintain an inventory of publicly available strategic plans published by Federal agencies and identify their machine-readability. _2078573a-1986-4d9e-953f-e3fd9fd339d7 1.1 Potential activities include: ^^ * Identify all Federal agencies required to publish strategic plans. ^ * Determine whether current strategic plans, performance plans, and performance reports are available in machine-readable form. ^ * Record publication dates, source URLs, and document formats. ^ * Identify opportunities to convert legacy PDF documents into structured representations. ^ * Extend the inventory to interested State, Tribal, and local governments. Machine-Readable Publication Increase the availability of strategic plans published in machine-readable formats. _997b3b18-e1f7-486d-9fa5-4d568b92f00d 1.2 Rather than prescribing a single format, encourage publication using open, machine-readable standards supporting AI processing, interoperability, and public transparency. Automated transformation tools may reduce the burden on participating organizations. ^^ Submitter's Note: Section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act (GPRAMA) directs Federal agencies to publish their strategic plans and performance reports in machine-readable format and that is good practice for agencies at all levels of government, worldwide. ^^ Strategy Markup Language (StratML) is such a format and Part 1, Strategic Plans, is a duly adopted international voluntary consensus standard (ISO 17469-1). ^ Part 2, Performance Plans and Reports, was approved as an American national standard (formerly ANSI/AIIM 22:2017). Cross-Government Alignment Identify relationships among Federal, State, Tribal, and local strategic objectives. _54d35424-e02d-4fd9-adbe-0c0b97d86199 1.3 Alignment should emphasize voluntary collaboration rather than centralized control. The objective is to reveal complementary missions, goals, and opportunities for coordination among governments operating at different jurisdictional levels.
