Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program & Behavior Study October 16, 2008 Christine Williams SELDP Program Director
Program Requirements • Ensures Selection of High Potential Candidates at the Right Time in Their Career • Builds on and Integrates Center SE Learning Programs • Provides Hands-On Learning Approach that Incorporates the Art andScience of SE • Allows for Individualized Learning Approach to Meet Participant Training & Development Needs 3
Selection Criteria • Target: Individuals Transitioning to Multi-Disciplinary System Engineering Activity – GS-13 – GS 15 • Engineering Bachelors Degree or AST Equivalent • Science of SE: Experience, Developmental Preparation, Center Endorsement, and Maturity/Judgment • Art of SE: Leadership Skills, Attitudes, Attributes, Communication Ability, Problem Solving and Systems Thinking 4
Program Elements • Developmental Assignments: Hands-On at Centers • Mentoring: Home & Assignment • Job Shadowing: Top SE Leaders • Leadership Development: Models and Experiential Learning • Assessment Instruments: Leadership Self Awareness • Leadership Coaching: Personalized Development • Leadership Training: Leadership Courses/Teambuilding • Benchmarking: With Leading SE Organizations • Center Visits: Greater Understanding Across Agency • Industry Benchmarking: Cutting Edge Organizations • Technical Training: Gap Analysis • Agency SE Holds Themselves Accountable • SE Selection and Participation • Center Advocate Role • Home Visits Tag Ups • Reentry – Next Challenging Assignment 5
NASA SE Leadership Holds Themselves Accountable for SELDP Success • Nominate and Endorse Candidates • Identify Potential SELDP Developmental Assignments • Appoint a Center Mentor Advocate • Rate Candidate Applications • Interview and Select Highly Qualified Candidates • Provide Guidance on Matching Participant with Developmental Assignment • Participate in Program Activities Including Mid and Final Participant Briefings • Ensure Participants are Placed in “Right Next Challenge” Upon Completion of the Program • Provide Ongoing Support, Guidance & Learning Opportunities for SELDP Graduates 6
2008-2009 Pilot Program • 17 Participants Competitively Selected from Across NASA • Development Assignments Matched to Participants Learning Needs by SELDP Advocates • On-Going Feedback Being Used to Iterate the Final Design of the Program 7
Systems Engineering Behavior Study • NASA studied 37 of the most highly regarded systems engineers from across the Agency to identify the characteristics or behaviors that set them apart. • Data from this study will be used to design or update systems engineering training, development, coaching and mentoring programs to develop these behaviors in systems engineers across the agency. 9
