SUBJECT: Comments on the NIP
1. The overall form of the plan-is adequate.
2. The methodology through paragraph D is reasonable, but the
method of accomplishing E is shaky. Do not conceive how the PRC(I)
can evaluate shortfalls in 1985 without a detailed understanding of the
system's capabilities programmed to be on-line in '85. Most likely
their evaluation will be heavily shaded by their perception of current
shortfalls. Ergo, the objective stated in the introduction is unlikely
to be met.
3. It is not clear if the plan will include the identification of
required capabilities and specific planning actions or if that is left
to the functional managers to do. If it is the latter, the conversion
of Table E-1 (assuming.it i.s meaningful) into programmatic actions
will become a PR game of the first magnitude, as the managers will
display most of all their resources-in the A or.B gradation.s,.whether they
contribute significantly or not.
4. In summary, I believe it is something which should. be tried,
but my money is on Pittsburg.
