SUMMARY:
Thirty-one years ago, as part of the most sweeping civil service reforms in
more than a century, Congress created the Senior Executive Service (SES) to
provide a unified, government-wide cadre of Federal career executives with
shared values, a broad perspective and solid leadership skills. This
leadership corps, reformers believed, would move across agencies, bring
their expertise and strategic thinking to a range of difficult issues and
problems, and operate under a uniform and performance-based pay system.
Today's SES, however, only vaguely reflects and demonstrates this vision.
At the Luncheon, Brian Vander May and Bob Lavigna will review the results
and findings of a recently completed study of the SES. The purpose of this
study was to examine to what extent it has achieved its original goals and
is keeping up with the times, to see if there are impediments to its
success, and to determine if changes should be made to improve the
management of government. The primary finding was that the SES as
envisioned by reformers has fallen short of its promise. More importantly,
the report found that the original vision itself is inadequate for today's
needs and does not provide the blueprint to build the kind of senior
government leadership required for the future.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:
Brian Vander May is an Associate at Booz Allen Hamilton, a leading
strategy and technology consulting firm, where he focuses on providing
human capital solutions to government clients. His areas of specialization
are leadership development and HR transformation. He has over ten years of
broad human resources experience in the private and public sectors, and
from an in-house and external consulting perspective. Brian was the Booz
Allen project manager for the joint study with the Partnership for Public
Service "Unrealized Vision: Reimagining the Senior Executive Service".
Brian received an M.B.A. from the University of Southern California and a
B.A. in International Relations from Connecticut College.
Bob Lavigna is Vice President of Research for the non-partisan, nonprofit
Partnership for Public Service. He directs research projects that find new
ways for government to attract, develop and retain talent. Before joining
the Partnership, Bob was Senior Manager of Consulting for CPS Human
Resource Services, a self-supporting public agency that provides HR
consulting services to Federal, state and local government. He directed
consulting in a 36-state region. Before that, from 1991-2001, he was
Administrator of the Wisconsin civil service system and directed a
statewide labor-management cooperation program. Before being appointed to
his Wisconsin position by the governor, Bob served with the Government
Accountability Office for 17 years.
The organizations Bob has led have received innovation and achievement
awards from the Ford Foundation, the Council of State Governments, the
International Public Management Association for HR (IPMA-HR), the National
Association of State Personnel Executives, the Urban League, and others.
Bob's individual awards and honors include selection as a "Public Official
