How often is the command ORM manager required to submit best practices to the ORM model manager?

The requirement for the command ORM manager to submit best practices to the ORM model manager annually aligns with the structured approach to ensure the continuous improvement and effectiveness of operational risk management within the Navy. This annual submission allows for a comprehensive review of the best practices that have been developed, implemented, and assessed over the year. It provides an opportunity for the ORM model manager to evaluate the practices within the broader context of operational safety and risk management, making necessary adjustments or recommendations based on the most up-to-date data and experiences from the field.

In the context of ORM, this annual schedule reinforces the cycle of identifying risks, implementing best practices, and reviewing their outcomes to enhance the overall mission readiness and safety of Navy operations. This time frame is also conducive to gathering enough data to make informed assessments and improvements, rather than more frequent submissions, which may lead to redundancy or insufficient data for thorough analysis.
