The version of DRIVE the Postal Service has created is centered on a set of 36 strategic initiatives, each guided by a senior USPS executive and supported by a cross-functional team of subject-expert managers. The ambitious initiatives \u2014 ranging from network optimization to executive transparency \u2014 include cost cutting, revenue generation, and capability enhancement necessary for the organization&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>Development of the DRIVE process has been on a fast track. \u201cNow that we\u2019ve established the portfolio of initiatives, it\u2019s time to focus on execution,\u201d said Director, Strategic Planning Emil Dzuray. \u201cEach initiative is guided by a set of Roadmaps \u2014 high-level plans teams will use to guide implementation and chart progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dzuray says the USPS leadership expects concrete results in each of the 36 initiatives. Some initiatives may take years to complete, but progress in others could take place before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work in a dynamic and competitive environment,\u201d said Dzuray. \u201cIt\u2019s vitally important that we tap the resources and experience of this organization to improve the way we execute key business strategies. The DRIVE process is designed to help us achieve these goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/liteblue.usps.gov\/news\/link\/2011\/drive_090611.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0 (PDF) for more information on the DRIVE process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PEN Ed.: USPS keeps coming up with what they believe are new concepts\u00a0and\/or ideas &#8211; the latest they call DRIVE.
