Activities:
Innovation
Met with Innovation Program Manager to discuss Coast Guard's innovation program and the use of social media tools and how they can be used for the program. Deliverable promised: Overview of social media tools and several additional links. (2.5 billable hours)
Process Improvement (LSS) Project with Surface Forces Logistics Center
Week 2 of five-week course. Presentation to class and instructors. From define phase, still need signed project charter. Additional feedback was that in the project I need to focus on the variation in the procurement process timeliness. Need now to complete all activities and deliverables for the measure phase of DMAIC. (40.0 hours)
Seven Habits Course
Committed to teach a Seven Habits of Highly Effective People course at the Portsmouth Federal Building, 19-21 October 2009. POC is CWO Rott.
Facilitation Request
Received facilitation request from CGC ELM to "refine the unit's strategic plan and develop a list of action items that need to be addressed to ensure the plan is achieved." A facilitator from FINCEN has stepped forward to meet this request. TDY funding may be needed if the ELM is unable to provide; D5 (or LANT) may need to provide TONO. I will follow up with CO of ELM week of 7 September to confirm coverage and that necessary funding is in place.
Social Media: Podcamp USCG
Serving on steering committee putting together a social media podcamp/unconference at the Innovation Expo. Other members of the steering committee include the Director of Marketing for AMVER, a contractor out of ALC, the assistant public affairs officer from D13, and a controller from the LANT command center. Early planning stage for this event, which will be somewhat similar to an event we hosted last year which attracted more than thirty attendees including several flag officers and the commandant. Likely this year's event will be longer (a full day) and more hands-on. Planning phoncon sometime in the next two weeks.
