Sense Capture signals, observations, assessments, performance information, and feedback from across the Fleet. Synthesize Aggregate enterprise information to identify trends, patterns, and root causes. Prioritize Identify, validate, and prioritize the risks that matter most to mission. Decide Move prioritized risks through governance and determine the appropriate path forward. Act Execute approved actions or conduct required studies to close gaps and address root causes. Learn Codify lessons learned and update processes, training, doctrine, and tools. Reassess Measure outcomes, validate gap closure, and feed results back into Fleet sensing. Reassessment closes the loop: insights and outcomes return to Fleet sensing, strengthening the next cycle. Continuous Learning Data-Driven Decisions Risk-Informed Actions Mission Aligned
Proactive Look ahead to identify and mitigate emerging risks before they escalate. Triggers Trends Data Assessments Observations Weak Signals Emerging Risk Indicators Early Warning Focus Continuously sense the Fleet for weak signals and emerging trends. Synthesize enterprise data to reveal patterns and systemic risk. Identify and prioritize risks based on impact, probability, and velocity. Enable senior leaders to act while risks are still manageable. Outcomes Prevent problems before they occur. Reduce cost, disruption, and risk. Increase readiness and mission assurance. Build a continuously learning Navy.
Reactive Respond rapidly to issues and events to stabilize the situation and prevent recurrence. Triggers Incidents Mishaps Inspections Command Reports Hot Issues Significant Findings Response Focus Detect issues through incidents, inspections, reports, or command input. Assess the issue and determine root cause and enterprise impact. Elevate and prioritize based on severity and risk to mission. Engage leaders to take immediate action to contain and correct. Outcomes Contain and correct issues quickly. Mitigate risk and prevent further harm. Capture lessons learned. Feed insights back into the system.
FIO Sync Identify and discuss risks, trends, leading practices, improvement efforts, root causes, and systemic barriers. Fix or Elevate Barriers
Integrated Assessment and Risk Forum Integrate and aggregate risk, discuss trends and root causes, and move barriers toward resolution or elevation. Integrate & Aggregate
Continuous Improvement Board Discuss and validate risks and problems, prioritize for action, and fix or elevate barriers. Validate & Prioritize
Learning to Action Board Discuss aggregated risk and impacts, prioritize solutions, remove barriers, and approve action. Decide & Enable Action
Decision Pathways Governance determines the appropriate path forward based on risk, evidence, resources, and objectives. These are parallel decision outcomes, not sequential steps. Improve Action Assume Risk Study
Fleet Signals INSURV / Assessments Increasing maintenance deficiencies noted during inspections. NSC / Safety Rise in maintenance-related near misses and equipment malfunctions. FIOs Recurring work-arounds and Sailor feedback about parts availability and manning. Maintenance Data Deferred maintenance increasing across multiple platforms and systems. Personnel Data Experienced technicians leaving; billets harder to fill; overtime increasing. Supply Chain / Logistics Parts delivery delays and backorders on critical components.

Enterprise Action Identify & Prioritize Risk Assess the enterprise risk and prioritize based on impact, probability, trend, and scope. Governance Review Senior leaders review the risk and evidence and determine the decision path. Select the Path Improve, Action, Assume Risk, or Study. Assign ownership, resources, and timelines as appropriate. Execute & Monitor Execute the plan and monitor leading indicators and supporting actions. Institutionalize Learning Codify what works and update relevant policy, training, standards, systems, and tools. Reassess Effectiveness Measure outcomes and risk reduction, check for drift or new signals, and continue the cycle.
