Army Talent Attribute Framework - FY22 Annual Update
Abstract
The Army Talent Attribute Framework (ATAF) was developed by the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) and Army Talent Management Task Force (ATMTF) to create a universal, standardized taxonomy of the knowledge, skills, and behaviors (KSBs) required of Army personnel. The ATAF consists of three hierarchical tiers: (Tier I) Talent Domains, (Tier II) Talents, and (Tier III) Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors (KSBs). The ATAF is a critical component of a modernized, data-driven talent management system that increases overall Army readiness, guides strategic workforce planning, and reduces talent gaps. The ATAF is currently used in the Integrated Personnel and Pay System Army (IPPS-A) and Assignment Interactive Module 2 (AIM2) and is being incorporated as common lexicon used in all aspects of the Army People Strategy's (2019a) new data-driven talent management processes. To ensure the ATAF continues to support an up-to-date, relevant, and effective personnel system, ATMTF and ARI planned annual review cycles of its structure. This report describes refinements made to the ATAF during the FY22 review cycle that will maintain the scientific bases and increase the utility of the process for talent management. In FY22, changes included: (a) renaming a KSB, (b) combining overlapping KSBs and removing redundant KSBs, (c) reassigning a KSB to a more appropriate Talent, (d) modifying a KSBs definition for clarity, or (e) adding a new KSB or Talent.
