Organizational Effectiveness Follow-Up – Sourcing

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) previously conducted an evaluation of Sourcing (Evaluation 2017-15514, August 17, 2018) to identify strengths and risks that could affect Sourcing’s organizational effectiveness. Our report identified several strengths and risks along with recommendations for addressing those risks. In response to a draft of that report, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) management provided their management decision. Prior to the commencement of this evaluation, the recommendations related to alignment risks, employee advancement, and collaboration within Sourcing were closed. The objective of this follow-up evaluation was to assess management’s actions to address the two remaining risks, related to leadership and workload. In summary, we determined TVA management has taken actions to address the remaining risks.
