About

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a virtual workshop about improving data capabilities for the defense acquisition workforce. This workshop provided a forum for presentations and discussions among project directors and managers, data training specialists, and policymakers on applying data science in defense acquisition processes. Speakers and panelists representing the Department of Defense, government agencies, universities, and the private sector shared their perspectives on relevant data science skills and capabilities necessary for the acquisition workforce, as well as training opportunities for acquisition professionals. This workshop served as an information gathering mechanism for a broader consensus study that will result in a report providing recommendations on how the Department of Defense can accelerate data analysis capabilities within the acquisition workforce.

Please find the workshop agenda and slides below. The workshop videos are available here.

About

On January 29, 2020, a subset of the Committee on Improving Defense Acquisition Workforce Capability in Data Use visited the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) in order to understand the infrastructure and mission of DAU as it pertains to data capabilities.

The committee received an introduction and overview of DAU from Darlene Urquhart. Urquhart noted that DAU is a non-degree-granting institution that focuses on continuous learning and providing ongoing support for the acquisition workforce through short courses and certifications. The institution’s mission is to “provide a global learning environment to develop qualified acquisition, requirements, and contingency professionals who deliver and sustain effective and affordable war-fighting capabilities.” The institution develops its own courses and works with external vendors to offer a broad selection of courses relevant to a defense acquisition workforce of nearly 175,000 people. Urquhart noted that DAU does not offer courses focused exclusively on data science; rather, DAU “teaches the acquisition workforce how to think and problem-solve using data, i.e., to improve Defense Acquisition Workforce (DAW) capability in data use.”

Following the introduction, committee attendees observed one course (PMT360; Program Management Office Course, Part B) and took part in a facilitated case study utilized in a second course (PMT401; Program Manager's Course).

After observing PMT360 and participating in a PMT401 case study, the committee received briefings on three key aspects of DAU’s educational approach: Foundational Learning (curricula offered both onsite and online designed for learners to gain fundamental knowledge and skills), Workflow Learning (resources including job aids, online data tools, and templates available through DAU’s website intended to support learners on the job), and Performance Learning (DAU consultation efforts tailored to an organization’s specific needs). In FY2019, DAU recorded 44,801 in-classroom course completions, 151,283 distance learning course completions, and 612,085 continuing learning course completion.

The conclusion of the site visit included a briefing on the possible future direction of DAU’s certification and talent development model from Maryanne Watson.

Attendees from DAU:

Mr. Frank Kelley - Vice President; Dr. Darlene Urquhart - Director, Enterprise Integration Directorate (EID); Mr. Patrick Wills - Dean, Defense Systems Management College (DSMC); Mr. Vance Gilstrap - Dean, Capital and Northeast Region (CNE); Ms. Carol Tisone - Dean, Mid-Atlantic Region (MAT); Mr. Hans Jerrell - Director, Workflow Learning Directorate (WLD); Dr. William (Bill) Parker - Director, Foundational Learning Directorate (FLD); Ms. Maryann Watson - Associate Dean for Executive, International & Requirements Management Programs (DSMC); Dr. Owen Gadeken - Intermittent Professor, (DSMC); Mr. Matthew Bampton - Professor of Program Management (CNE); Lt Col Timothy Jones - Professor of Program Management (CNE); Mr. Thomas Neff - Professor of Program Management (CNE)
