Competencies to Attain a Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational Perspective
Abstract
The Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) environment will continue to increase in complexity and require leaders to adapt and innovate. The Officer Education System and the Functional Area 53 technical training lacks in the development of non-technical skills needed in a JIIM environment. With additional training and education in executive competencies and interpersonal skills, the FA 53 officer attains a JIIM perspective and is prepared to operate in the complex JIIM environment by adapting and innovating. To do this the FA 53 officer needs two additional competencies. First, the FA 53 is a senior IT person and represents the organization in regards to information systems and technology. This external IT focus aligns well with the Chief Information Officer (CIO) competencies. The second competency is the Senior Leader Leadership competencies of conceptual, technical, and interpersonal skills. Existing programs, or modification and cloning of similar existing programs provide the training and education for these competencies to prepare FA 53 officers for JIIM assignments.
