A DIGITAL JOURNEY TO TRANSFORM THE WORKFORCE
covers the basics of digital transformation, including defining digital transforma- tion, exploring the digital transformation framework, and topics centering around various digital technologies and design thinking. The latest feedback from a recent end of course survey indicates that nearly 90 percent of the Army Acquisition Workforce that completed the masterclass course did not experience any dissatisfac- tion related to the value of the training and the quality of the content provided. Te Product Management for AI & Data Science Course provides key technolog- ical concepts and AI, expands on the growing importance of AI and data in product management, and a complete overview for a product manager in the field of data science. Te Agile Samurai Bootcamp is the third course in this foun- dational pathway that reviews how to set up, execute and successfully deliver agile
projects, including in-depth discussion on agile teams, communication plans and the mechanics behind agile iteration.
“We are changing the way we operate,” Bang said in a recent message to the work- force that emphasized the importance of completing the three digital foundations pathway courses in Udemy, “whether it is adopting modern software practices, tran- sitioning to data-driven decision-making or digitizing our engineering processes though digital engineering, the workforce must be equipped with the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to navigate and contribute to successful digital transfor- mations within ASA(ALT). Whether you hold a technical or nontechnical role, this training will provide valuable insights and empower you to adapt to the rapidly evolv- ing digital landscape. We must collectively understand the concepts and lexicon
associated with this transformation across all disciplines to ensure we are all on the same page and execute our mission.”
Tese three courses are now a part of the Contribution-Based Compensation and Appraisal System as a new mandatory objective for digital literacy. Although this is only applicable to acquisition- coded civilian and military members in ASA(ALT), the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center and program executive offices are encouraged to complete the courses to support the Army’s overall digi- tal transformation priority.
Increased collaborations and partnerships with industry and academia have become more important, as these are innovation sectors that have technology at the fore- front and can assist with access to learning tools to upskill the workforce—minimiz- ing gaps and expanding abilities to help grow the Army Acquisition Workforce now and into the future. Te DACM Office has also launched a new digital transformation training course, Digital Data Leaders, through partnership with Carnegie Mellon University to provide key leadership with a working knowledge of state-of-the-art data concepts and best practice examples. Te course assists Army leadership in the development of a robust
