Navy’s Success-Oriented Approach to Modernizing Personnel Capability

• Minimize change management challenges• NSIPS is Navy’s field-level input system for Active and Reserve

personnel• Personnel professionals and service members are familiar with

NSIPS, and are using some self-service capabilites• Approval authority hierarchy in place for eLeave can be leveraged

for many other automated business processes• Leverage existing capability (NSIPS)

• Navy was an early adopter of PeopleSoft HR capability; has many years of functional and technical experience using PeopleSoft tools

• NSIPS uses modern software and hardware – no technical obsolescence issues

• NSIPS operates in a disconnected mode – conserving limited bandwidth

• Develop effective and efficient business processes and apply technology as needed

• Primary issues are with inefficient business processes and lack of data integration, not with NSIPS itself

5

Personnel Strategy• Acquisition strategy for Navy personnel capability is to

develop/modernize the existing Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS)

• NSIPS is the foundational system for Navy personnel, currently in Operations and Support/Sustainment phase - not an active ACAT

• Reserve Headquarters Support (RHS), Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS), Inactive Manpower and Personnel Management Information System (IMAPMIS), and Navy Enlisted System (NES) also provide current personnel capability

• NSIPS Dev/Mod may subsume these capabilities

• Use of NSIPS to meet Navy personnel requirements allows for:• No new single acquisition program of record to meet Navy personnel

capability needs• Dev/Mods to be acquired under the Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL)

using a tailored approach• First Dev/Mod defined by Functional Sponsor is Retirements and

Separations

NSIPS Training Status

• Formal training was removed from YN & PS ‘A’ Schools• Reinstatement in PS ‘A’ School underway

• Original training materials developed with NSIPS (CBT, embedded help) are not current

• Heavy reliance on OJT at PSDs• Substantially reduced waterfront support for training• Reserves have some formal training for NSIPS

underway

7

Current NSIPS Training Gaps

• PS/YN HPPR hosted by CSS from 1-4 Feb, 2011 – Fleet called for reinstituting NSIPS training into the YN & PS ‘A’ Schools

• US Fleet Forces Command Action Item

• Provide description of shore infrastructure to support pipeline training for NSIPS…

• “Note: OJT is not an acceptable plan for maintaining ship's crew proficiency.“ 

• OPNAV N16 FIT Evaluation of Navy Personnel Systems revealed Fleet knowledge gap for personnel systems and services

• The lack of knowledge (training) results in confusion among Fleet users regarding how to access and use personnel systems, such as the Electronic Service Record

• Formal training required for multiple Fleet user groups

• Sailor/Command Pass Coordinator training/performance support needed

• Civilian and contractor personnel providing PSD services also need NSIPS training

1.ISD analysis on next priority1. Determine training/performance support medium

2. Produce training/performance support intervention

3. Repeat the process

2.Assess need for more E2E solution1. Perhaps Sailor/CPC Front-End to NPPSC SOPs w/ PMW 240

Training/Performance Support Intervention

3.Finalize NSIPS NTSP Update
