Statement of Melissa Sue Glynn

Nominee to be Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs

for Enterprise Integration</b>

October 4, 2017

Chairman Isakson, Ranking Member Tester and Distinguished Committee Members, I

am truly humbled by the opportunity to serve our Veterans, their families and work on

behalf of the employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Meeting personally with

many of you, I have been able to gain an appreciation of your commitment to serving

our Veterans. I am deeply honored to be nominated by President Trump for the role of

Assistant Secretary for Enterprise Integration.

Today my mother, Jo-Ann Serrani, is here to provide support for me as she has always

has done. She taught me to balance strength with empathy. I am also appreciative of

my friends, my chosen family, who are also here in support.

Although my father has passed, his care and his final days were spent at the Carl

Hayden VA Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. His military career was brief due to an injury

which shattered his knee. Yet, the care he received from the VA lasted all of his days.

Before his passing, my grandfather finally opened up and shared stories of WWII that

he kept private for over fifty years. Painful memories of liberating Concentration

Camps and the suffering inflicted across Europe - even more painful for a Jew whose

family fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;He held them tight because he could not

reconcile those memories with his day-to-day life. Those experiences, as well as my

prior service as a Board member for the <b>USO Capital Region,</b> influence my desire to

2

commit myself professionally and personally to serve, if confirmed, as Assistant

Secretary for Enterprise Integration.

The Department is undertaking multiple, significant initiatives simultaneously, and now

more than ever requires broad perspective, critical analysis and independent

assessment to evaluate the efficacy of these efforts. Modernization efforts are planned

or already underway in VBA, VHA, NCA, and BVA and across the Department’s

management functions. Therefore, the Office of Enterprise Integration’s greatest

opportunity is to lead the Department’s strategic planning and performance model,

serve as the driver for modernization with responsibility to track and verify initiative

progress and provide analytical support. These efforts all must align with Secretary’s

priorities and focus our resources on VA’s mission – serving our Veterans. OEI also

provides critical cross Departmental support through its Center for Innovation and

leadership of the VA/DoD Joint Executive Committee.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The VACI conducts ground

breaking work including identifying barriers Veterans experience to accessing available

mental healthcare. This work informs preventing suicides.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

Earlier in my career, I had responsibility for over 60 consulting projects at the VA as a

partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers. These ranged from defueling and

decommissioning VA’s only nuclear reactor at the Omaha VAMC to the rollout of

National Provider Identifers for VHA, to standing up the National Acquisition Academy in

Frederick, Maryland</span>. I was afforded an opportunity to travel to over 60 medical centers,

benefits regional offices and cemeteries during my role as Engagement Partner with the

VA. I additionally led a large implementations effort for the VA’s business partner, the

3

Defense Finance and Accounting Service to significantly reduce fraud, waste and

abuse.

The last nine years of my career have been devoted to affecting change as a partner in

the world’s largest turnaround consulting firm. As the managing partner of <b>Alvarez &

Marsal’s public sector practice,</b> I drew from expertise in the private sector to address

long standing failings of government programs.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The majority of my work focused on

fixing broken Medicaid systems at the State level. Many States were not agile enough

to implement new delivery models, meet changing needs of their clients nor harness

new advances in healthcare and technology. My consulting teams focused on

identifying the root causes of performance and communication failure as well as

significant cost overruns. Working as interim management, we sought to build capacity

of the State employees while implementing changes aligning financial management with

programs, righting technology implementations, improving stakeholder engagement,

and increasing the value of service to their clients – often the most vulnerable

populations.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;For the VA, Secretary Shulkin has identified five priorities and my prior experience

directly aligns with two of these priorities - modernizing systems and focusing

resources. And achieving success with systems and resource management enables

the realization of the remaining three priorities: greater choice, improve timeliness and

suicide prevention. It is critical at this juncture that progress is made to change

how the Department operates to foster agility and ensure appropriated resources

deliver value to Veterans.

4

The Department has incredible opportunities to improve today and for the future through

leveraging leading practices in healthcare, benefits delivery, customer service, as well

as improving business operations including integration of technology, human capital

management, facilities management and organizational governance.

If confirmed, I will assertively drive the organization to realize potential to improve and

uplift its service to today’s and tomorrow’s Veterans.

With appreciation to the Committee for the opportunity to appear today, I look forward to

answering your questions.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><div id="mw-content-text" lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="direction: ltr; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="mw-parser-output"><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;
