Sustaining the Future Civilian Workforce: DoDs Strategic Human Capital Management

Abstract

How do you ensure you have the talent you need to meet mission requirements, now and in the future, in the face of looming retirements and new mission focus areas? That is a question that Patricia Bradshaw, the deputy under secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy, has been dealing with over the last several years. Talent needs are particularly daunting for the Department of Defense acquisition community, which includes approximately 126,000 defense civilian and military members. Working collaboratively, however, the DUSD (CPP) and the Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Human Capital Initiatives staff are crafting solutions to meet that challenge. They are also developing forecasting and competency models that hold promise for addressing both current and future capability requirements and competency gaps--powerful tools in the war for acquisition talent.
