Figure 4: Illustration of Principles for Selecting Targeted Human
Capital Strategies: DOL's Development of an MBA Fellows Program:

Like many agencies, DOL faces the challenge of acquiring needed skills
and competencies to keep pace with changing conditions and to improve
effectiveness of its programs. To address this challenge, it has
formulated a strategy for using existing personnel flexibilities for
recruiting individuals with advanced business administration skills,
and presented a business case for this and other human capital
initiatives in its fiscal year 2003 budget request approved by the
Congress.
