Issues and Applications in Formulation and Evaluation Considering the 4 P & G Accounts
This white paper highlights the challenges and potential approaches when considering these accounts in project planning, particularly with respect to formulation, evaluation and selection. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed to help inform discussion on this topic, which is believed to be quite relevant given recent WRDA 2007 proposals calling for updates and revisions to the Principles & Guidelines, regulations, and circulars. The paper also identified other issues towards the end of the white paper which may require follow-up study or special attention.

Scenario-Based Strategic Planning in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Program White Paper
The purpose of this paper is to document and critique a scenario-based strategic planning initiative that was undertaken by the USACE Civil Works Program from 2006 to 2007. Scenario planning is a technique designed to help organizations develop strategies that are robust, i.e. effective in a wide range of future conditions. This paper will introduce and discuss scenario analysis in general, describe the specific approach used by USACE, and then provide details of the process and products generated at each step. It will conclude with an evaluation of the effort, and recommendations for future scenario-based strategic planning in USACE.
