Measuring the 'Leading People' Organizational Health of AMC Wings on a Non-interference Basis

Abstract

This graduate research paper investigated the utility of available measures related to the Air Force Inspection System major graded area (MGA) of Leading People to measure the health of Air Mobility Command (AMC) wings on a quarterly or more frequent rhythm. The Leading People MGA accounts for a majority of Inspector General Evaluation Management System recorded deficiencies. A panel of experts, selected from four subgroups (senior raters, squadron commanders, Air Mobility Command inspectors, and wing inspectors), participated in a Delphi study to quantify their perception on a list of 51 measures. The list of metrics were derived from a variety of sources and inputs survey participants. Quantifiable data was evaluated using mean and standard deviation values. Metrics were categorized using a tiered structure based on high value and high concurrence, as indicated by the panel, resulting in functionally applicable consensus. Blending top tier metrics with subjective inputs from on-site key personnel into the current reporting processes should enable AMC senior leaders to better evaluate the holistic health of each wing in real-time, thereby, elevating situation awareness and aiding in more informed decision making. The research focus on non-interference metrics will improve situational awareness while minimizing the negative impact AMC wings.
