2 2 AFPCI AUGUST 2018 Compliance Item Waiver Request/Approval, or via or memorandum if the form is unavailable. Waivers must be approved by AFPC/DSX.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES This instruction has been substantially revised to streamline and clarify procedures within the updated shared service delivery matrix structure of AFPC and must be completely reviewed. 1. Role of Governance Structure Process Overview The AFPC Corporate Structure is hierarchical three-tier structure comprised of the following echelons: Council, Board, and WGs designed to increase management effectiveness and improve decision making by providing a forum where senior AFPC leaders can apply their collective judgment and experience to affect major programs, objectives, and topics. The governance process ensures supporting and dissenting opinions for all major decisions are captured to enable senior AFPC leadership to make informed decisions The governance process will capitalize on the members' experience and knowledge to facilitate open discussions and improve recommendations not possible in customary staffing actions. Members represent their particular functional areas, but are also required to take enterprise-wide, vice functional, perspectives in order to make advisory recommendations. Full participation is expected of all Board and WG members Since the various WGs represented are the foundation for AFPC s programs and processes, they serve as the initial entry point into the Center s day-to-day business activities. AFPC/CC expects each WG chair to provide their full support and participation. 2. Structure The AFPC Corporate Structure Secretariat resides in the Directorate of Staff (DS) and provides oversight for all AFPC Corporate Structure activities In general, all topics requiring Council approval are elevated through the AFPC Corporate Structure as depicted in attachment 2. Specifically, topics start at the WG level and continue through the Board to the Council. Exceptions: Topics that require no prioritization, or where timeliness or efficiency warrants specific review at only specific levels, may bypass the WG level review. Exceptions must be agreed to in advance of scheduling by the sponsoring directorate, AFPC Corporate Structure Secretariat, and (if appropriate) CC or Executive Director (CA). 3. Membership (Roles and Responsibilities). Content below is also represented in attachment 3.
