Strategic Integration and Policy Planning

Strategic Integration and Policy Planning (SIPP) provides the Department with an integrated and DHS-wide capability for strategy development, strategic planning, long-term assessment, and decision analysis, including statistical and economic analysis and risk assessment and modeling. SIPP serves as the Department's primary point of contact for strategy and policy planning offices in DHS Components, other Federal departments and agencies, and the White House. SIPP also represents DHS in OMB’s Strategic Planning Working Group and major interagency strategy reviews. SIPP serves a leading role within the Department to link strategy and policy with capabilities and joint requirements analysis, programming and budgeting, operational planning, and major investment oversight. SIPP is also leading many initiatives intended to build and mature the Department into one that is greater than the sum of its parts, enhancing traceability between strategic objectives, budgeting, acquisition decisions, operational planning, and mission execution, to improve both Departmental cohesiveness and operational effectiveness.
