Purpose of Trip:

Summary of activity:
Agenda of work can be found here.
Led LSU command cadre and senior staff through a day-long strategic planning process to align internal initiatives with unit-level goals in alignment with higher authority guidance. Was able to facilitate the group through the entire process, although the results were rough in nature due to the limited time available. Command was left with identified outcomes, critical success factors, goals, measures, and associated initiatives. This work will help the unit leverage scarce resources to better meet defined high priority needs. Success at implementing this strategic plan, once finalized, will result in DHS being able to meet it's mandate to provide secondary navigational aids independent of GPS. This is a federal government, national mandate and imperative.
Second day of work was primarilly a 3-hour session focused on social media tools and brainstorming ways the LSU staff can use these tools to encourage collaboration, increase knowledge management, and facilitate communication among various stakeholders both internal and external to the unit. Overview of brief provided can be found here.
At request of Commanding Officer, Training Center Cape May, attended recruit graduation for company Echo 180. Met with CO for 20-30 minutes to discuss challenges faced by the training center staff and ways to move forward.
Way ahead:
Continue to liaison with commanding officers of both LSU and TRACEN CM to determine additional needs/requirements and work to meet those needs/requirements.
