We will strive to:

• Make every decision defendable, repeatable and robust.
• Communicate effectively to eliminate language impediments.
• Seek and use best practices. Be our own toughest critic and continuously improve our processes.
• Be good stewards of taxpayer dollars and even better stewards of warfighting capabilities.
• Engage stakeholders early and continuously throughout the entire acquisition and fielding process ensuring all stake holders agree what is in scope, out of scope.
• Systematically derive OT test objectives using mission based test design and capture our evaluation strategies in Integrated Evaluation Frameworks that place system performance in the context of Joint warfighting effects.
• Share data, test procedures, analysis techniques early.
• Turn data into information and information into knowledge.
• Resolve all issues promptly using respectful, constructive conflict techniques.
• Maintain operational independence when making conclusions.
• Make IOT&E a period of confirmation vice a period of discovery.
• Lead the Navy’s effort to develop independent assessments of Warfare Capability Baselines that address Fleet Commander priorities.
