Why an Agency/DoD Learning Alliance?

Save time, augment shrinking federal budgets

for learning, improve quality and results by

– Developing a “community of practice” to encourage

networking, collaboration and informal partnerships

– Understanding the critical thinking process and

rationale behind decision making and actions

– Insight on current topics, issues, and opportunities

– Accelerating learning via the identification of leading

practices

Within the context of an Agency

and/or DoD Safety and Health perspective

SHLA Goals for 2015-2016

Design a more interactive event addressing how

Agency and DoD organizations solve common

problems

Ask Agency and DoD speakers to highlight

– What challenges has your organization faced?

– How has your organization addressed this issue?

– What are you most proud of?

– What can others learn from your experience?

– How will your operate differently?

How Agencies/DoD Can Participate in SHLA

Identify your Agency/DoD contacts to expand the group

Identify experts within your organization as SHLA

speakers

– Who are your experts on a topic?

– What groups or organizations would benefit from the discussion?

– A PoC to push through your internal communication channels

Help identify “moment of truth” scenarios for speakers to

demonstrate how they solve common problems
