Responsibilities of Executives in Integrating CSS
CSS Quick Facts
There are four major roles that DOT executives have in managing CSS integration. These include:
- They are the visionary leaders who develop and communicate internally and externally the case for change and the CSS vision.
- They are the “project managers” of the CSS assessment and implementation planning process.
- They are responsible for creating and maintaining the accountability structure that ensures that everyone in the organization is fulfilling their responsibilities in implementing CSS integration.
- They are the CSS champions who demonstrate their commitment to CSS integration by “walking the talk,” providing on-going and visible positive reinforcement of CSS success, and ensuring clear individual and organizational accountability for lack of progress.
DOT executives have two additional responsibilities, “aligning” the organization and balancing CSS implementation with overall program and project delivery.
