View ReportKey Findings
The observations and recommendations within this report that resulted from key stakeholder interviews, a staff survey and OIG benchmarking research address eight areas of importance to the Amtrak OIG. The report defines the desired future state, summarizes Amtrak OIG’s strengths and weaknesses related to the future state, and recommends immediate “quick win” next steps as well as longer-term recommendations. Progress in these areas will significantly contribute to operational improvement.
Recommendations
The eight areas address:
- Internal Communication
- External Communication
- Work Planning and Prioritization
- Quality and Timely Work Processes
- Independence
- Policy Management and Updates
- Human Capital Management
- Performance Measures
For each of these eight future states, the Panel identified both “quick win” opportunities as well as longer-term recommendations that the OIG should implement.
