Strategy

301/302

Defense Acquisition University’s (DAU) mission and vision require more than just training. Its mission requires it to provide the award-winning certification training that DAU is known for. For these professionals to be truly successful, however, its mission also requires it to serve them well beyond their last certification class with learning assets such as knowledge sharing and mission assistance. DAU’s vision is to continue to be successful in the future by improving all three domains of its new acquisition learning model, and integrating those domains to create the best possible learning environment, combining and focusing all activities on individual and organizational performance.

In this session participants will explore DAU’s new learning strategy, the acquisition learning model (ALM). You will discover how the ALM recognizes that DAU provides the workforce with three types of learning that are distinct, but that must support each other. You will explore each type of learning, including foundational learning, workflow learning, and performance learning. Participants will leave this session understanding how the ALM keeps every member of the DAU team completely focused on the success of our customers and helps us become one of the world’s very best in performance support.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How to align your learning strategy to a performance support role
  • How to implement your performance support strategy
  • DAU‘s best practices and lessons learned in its implementation
  • How to get senior leadership buy-in and commitment for performance support

Audience:
Intermediate and advanced designers, developers, managers, and project managers.
