The Deputy Chief of Staff, G-8 is the Army’s lead for matching available resources to the defense strategy and the Army plan. The DCS, G-8 organization consists of three directorates: Center for Army Analysis, Program Analysis & Evaluation (PA&E), and Force Development. Team Sehlke supports PA&E, the Army lead for development of Defense Planning Guidance and Deputy Secretary of Defense’s Management Action Group (DMAG). According to the former Deputy Secretary of Defense, David Norquist, the Department of Defense (DoD) developed “a single authoritative source for audit and business data analytics” called Advance Analytics (ADVANA) to be responsive to the DoD audit process. ADVANA is a platform that holds more than 15 billion transactions, takes in data from more than 120 DoD systems, hosts at least 7,000 users, and creates nearly 300 dashboards. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) utilizes ADVANA to track and report various metrics across DoD. Once a month, OUSD hosts a Core Metrics DMAG where each department briefs their metrics (Financial, People & Readiness, Modernization, Acquisition & Sustainment, Intel & Security, Digital Modernization, Allies & Partners). The Sehlke team developed the Army’s ADVANA desktop guide that describes how to establish an ADVANA account and develop / extract essential data and supporting documentation for the Core Metrics DMAG. The Army led the way across the services in developing and implementing this guide. The OUSD commended Sehlke’s efforts and stated that they will leverage this guide as a baseline for developing a standard manual for usage across the Military Departments.
