Defense Acquisition. Volume 48, Number 1, January-February 2019
Abstract
An unnamed acquisition sage once said, "We wouldn't put a new pilot into a $100 million aircraft without first having him put in some time in a flight simulator; so why does it make sense to put a new acquisition team on to a $100 million Source Selection without the same degree of attentiveness? As we look to create meaningful real-time training, the need to add simulation to the mix is important. For many, it is easy to visualize a training simulator, but it is less easy to see simulation or scenario-based acquisition training. Simulation, as differentiated from an exercise or a workshop, seeks to train on a specific subject and infuse meaningful experience to those participating in the simulation. Using scenario-based acquisition models focuses on team building, gaining a process familiarity through use, and creating a common core of experience shared by the intact team. The result provides for greater team confidence by building team competence.
