Presentation: Integrated Value Network (IVN)

Abstract: Learn how you can turn strategy into action and work to achieve improvements to portfolio and program outcomes while improving strategic communication and alignment of projects. The Marketing & Regulatory Programs (MRP) Mission Area in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is piloting the Integrated Value Network (IVN) to drive intra-agency and cross-agency collaboration. This joint effort between USDA and several agencies presents a case study of this work and includes lessons learned, current progress, and future vision.

The IVN is a project sponsored under the Growing Good in Government Initiative (G3I) by the Marketing and Regulatory Programs (MRP) Business Services. The G3I is a holistic approach to maximize value to stakeholders through coordinated efforts of two foundational priorities: the Integrated Value Network (IVN), including data & analytics architecture, and the USDA P/PM Community of Practice (CoP). By integrating these components into a cohesive initiative, G3I aims to provide our organization with the tools, knowledge, and a framework necessary to be more optimized and impactful while remaining hyper-responsive to the needs of the citizens we serve. The G3I is meant to function as an “ecosystem” of requirements managed and implemented as a coordinated effort.

G3I invites you to learn more about the IVN and our other teams. Please reach out to our team for more information!
