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. Excelling in that environment demands agile leaders and strong teams. The DoD Acquisition Workforce Strategic Plan [FY2016-FY2021] hones in on the importance of

cultivating workforce talent and improving quality and workforce professionalism. The 4th Estate DACM Leadership and Talent Management Portfolio, offered by my office, includes options for individuals to develop their technical, functional, and soft skills under the umbrella of leveraging essential leadership qualities. We all need to be leaders – regardless of our current positions. Each of us must ask an important question: Am I ready to shake up my commitment to excellence? If the answer is yes, this Portfolio is for you!

Our 2020 offerings are composed of two options:

1. Supervisor-endorsed nomination packages2. Self-registration courses through the Defense Acquisition Talent Management Service (DATMS)

Details about the self-registration courses through DATMS will be forthcoming in the January-March 2020 timeframe. This catalog addresses descriptions and details for supervisor-endorsed nomination programs and courses.

While my team architected this year’s offerings, we grouped the training into three categories: Intermediate Developmental Opportunities (IDO), Senior Developmental Opportunities (SDO), and Certification Preparation Opportunities (CPO). This year’s intent is to address different degrees of the following essential leadership qualities: competence, values, and relationships. In the pages that follow, the outlined opportunities represent programs and courses that, we believe, will fuel acquisition leaders to demonstrate technical and functional excellence, ethical decision-making, and deep-rooted networks.

Early in our careers, development is more about acquiring basic individual and functional skills while learning to lead ourselves. Later on, we strengthen our ability to honor core values and those intellectual and personal connections that bolster our resilience through relationships. As we continue to mature and move up the leadership ladder, development becomes less about our individual performance and more about ensuring our teams’ successes. What distinguishes senior leaders is their ability to consistently and sustainably inspire teams to go above and beyond.

The intensity of our learning efforts is perhaps the most direct reflection of our drive to be the best acquisition leaders possible. Leaders with the passion to make ourselves and our teams the best do not wait for opportunities to come to them – they seek them out on their own – and we, the 4th Estate DACM office, welcome the chance to support each acquisition workforce member’s career development.

Due to the competitive nature of the selection process, timely submissions are critical. Please ensure this catalog is disseminated widely to your acquisition workforce. All applicants must comply with their respective agency’s process for submitting nomination packages. Nominees interested in more than one course or program should include a priority ranking of their preferences in the 4th Estate DACM Competitive Development Nomination Form. All supervisor-endorsed nomination packages must be submitted to my Talent Management Lead, Ms. Hina Munir, [email protected], 703-805-3538, by October 25, 2019.

We are thankful for the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund used to sponsor the opportunities in this portfolio. My team and I pledge to help you become the most professional, agile, and high-performing acquisition workforce member you can be.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Acquisition workforce members selected for a program/course can cancel up to 10 weeks prior to the start date by notifying the 4th Estate DACM Talent Management Lead with a supervisor-endorsed cancellation request. The emailed request should provide adequate justification for the cancellation.
