Scott Bauer Director, Acquisition Career Management 4th Estate

The 2018 National Defense Strategy makes clear that the Department of Defense (DoD) faces a competitive environment. To meet the needs of DoD’s operational tempo, the 4th Estate DACM Office offers leadership opportunities to provide the Acquisition Workforce (AWF) with proper

tools and techniques to become effective leaders within the new Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) environment. As a reminder, my office administers an annual Leadership and Talent Management Portfolio. The Portfolio offers a wide variety of opportunities for civilians to develop leadership, functional, and technical skills. The Portfolio includes two enrollment opportunity types: (1) Supervisor-endorsed nomination packages and (2) self-registration course opportunities. The supervisor-endorsed nomination packages, due 25 October 2019, have been processed and we are pleased to offer 106 seats for these competitive opportunities. This catalog includes the self-registration course schedule, which will go live for registration on 31 January 2020.

The DoD Acquisition Workforce Strategic Plan [FY2016-FY2021] hones in on the importance of cultivating workforce talent and improving quality and workforce professionalism. Through the 2020 Portfolio, we address these essential leadership qualities: competence, values, and relationships. In the pages that follow, the outlined opportunities represent courses that, we believe, will fuel acquisition leaders to develop and implement strategies to build strong teams, make effective decisions, and optimize current activities. For emerging leaders, individual development often focuses on improving functional skills while learning to lead. At the mid-level, leaders strengthen resiliency through personal experiences and relationships. Further up the leadership ladder, development becomes less about individual performance and more about ensuring team successes. I believe the ability to empower a team inspires the heart and is the sign of a true leader. Passionate leaders do not wait for opportunities to come – they seek them out.

This year, we are pleased to include the Navy as a part of our Acquisition Leadership Challenge Program (ALCP) leadership contract for a true joint “purple” effort. Additionally, we have inculcated “coaching” into the curriculum for the ALCP suite of courses both to facilitate the transfer of learning into actionable goals and to meet organizational Return-on-Investment (ROI) objectives. ALCP participants will be offered the opportunity to work one-on-one with an accredited coach. Through focused interactions with coaches, the actionable goals can be tracked over time to demonstrate changed behaviors resulting from impactful leadership strategies.

We also streamlined the application process for self-registration courses via the new DATMS Events module that was recently released. The Event module approval process mirrors each Agency’s training workflow, generally: Employee > Supervisor > Agency Quota Manager and step-by-step instructions are outlined in the “Details and Requirements” section of this catalog.

As always, we are thankful for the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund/Account sponsorship that makes the Leadership and Talent Management Portfolio possible. While this catalog will be available on our website (https://4edacm.dau.edu) and featured in an upcoming newsletter, please disseminate this catalog to your AWF. As a reminder, all applicants must comply with their respective agency’s process to submit course requests.

And, finally, my team and I here at the 4th Estate DACM Office welcome the chance to continue supporting the career development of the 4th Estate AWF.
