Creating a leadership culture that… Recruit, Retain and Grow our Acquisition Talent Prepare us for the next generation workforce. This begins by understanding critical gaps in skills needed and determining how to get to “hard to reach” talent. Includes understanding how to communicate with and reach the digitally-driven workforce of the future. We should leverage new and expedited hiring authorities, personnel demonstration projects (AcqDemo); expanding the use of flexible and part time appointments with the government as needed. Engage the early career workforce (newly generated 5-10 years in-service). Ensure that we sustain this population of the workforce by listening to and utilizing them, giving them an opportunity to influence their future and the future of our critical acquisition work. Develop leaders beginning earlier, but inclusive of the early, mid and senior career levels. This should not be limited to classroom training, but should include leadership development through work experience by allowing greater movement of the workforce through talent exchange and rotational opportunities, to include opportunities with the private sector and academia. Introduce use of modern talent management platforms and techniques. We need to move from today’s 20th century HR systems to the application of commercially-available talent management applications that will enable better tracking of our talent in an increasingly dynamic environment.
