Any reorganization must be implemented in the context of the goals to be achieved. Continuing selected mandates, purposes and functions within an environment of fiscal constraints brought about by diminishing revenues while there are increasing demands for an increasing diversity of services. The focus of the reorganization must be on effective management . Without effective management the prioritization of mandates, purposes and functions will be haphazard at best and may further exacerbate the problems facing the executive branch. Further, any decisions on reallocation of personnel and resources that are not provided for by the laws of Guam will require an informed determination by the Governor which can only be achieved through effective management.
Government is divided into two basic functions.
The first is the delivery of goods and services to the people. The second is the governmental infrastructure that ensures that the necessary personnel, equipment and material and money are available to perform the delivery of the goods and services. The primary function of the Department of Administration is to provide financial and personnel services to the government of Guam. The secondary components of the governmental infrastructure are the support activities distributed throughout the government in each department and agency. Procurement The financial and personnel administrative management structure contained in the various agencies and departments of the Government of Guam restricts financial and management forecasting and planning to the individual entities with very little coordination between the entities because there are few systemic mechanisms for such coordination.
