Federal Data Strategy Revival Report Summary

Key Findings

• The Federal Data Strategy (FDS) lacks clear leadership and fails to connect its principles and practices to government-wide or agency-level mission outcomes.
• Progress on the FDS has stalled due to the absence of annual Action Plan updates since the 2021 plan, with OMB not providing guidance or oversight.
• Agencies are prioritizing their own data strategies over FDS, as the Strategy is too generic and high-level for practical implementation.
• The FDS does not effectively link its mission to leverage data value with operational priorities, limiting its impact on improving government efficiency, service delivery, and customer experience.
• Federal Chief Data Officers (CDOs) face challenges from a lack of OMB guidance, resource constraints, and undefined roles, leading to difficulties in implementation.

Recommendations

• OMB should amend the FDS to integrate strategic principles with mission outcomes, reform the Annual Action Plan approach, and provide clearer guidance.
• Establish a Federal CDO to lead the CDO Council, providing executive support and addressing CDO challenges.
• The Federal CDO Council should publish annual scorecards to track progress and ensure accountability.
• OMB's Federal Data Policy Committee must be operationalized for oversight, guidance on open data standards, and coordination.
• Congress should increase funding for CDOs to support FDS actions, workforce development, and legislative requirements.
