Elevating IT at OPM

Brittany Ballenstedt over at Wired Workplace has a good catch, noting that John Berry's reorganization of the Office of Personnel Management has elevated the agency's Chief Information Officer, in accordance with plans Berry laid out earlier in 2009. Given the botched Retirement Systems Modernization contract, an upgraded USAJobs, and the technical challenges that will be involved in any attempt at hiring reform, this seems like a savvy move--especially if it comes with expanded resources.
