The Shape of SUCCESS


PEO CS&CSS makes a two-pronged effort to maximize the effectiveness of the SRPE and get the most from its workforce.


by Mr. Scott J. Davis L


ast quarter, Craig A. Spisak, director of the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center, wrote about the importance of Senior Rater Potential Evaluations (SRPEs) in helping to identify and shape our community’s future leaders. I agree that the SRPE is a very important tool. Our current environment is uncertain and resource-constrained, and


it’s often hard to spend the extra time to think critically about our workforce. Yet I’m convinced that we must make the time to shape our most important resource. We owe that to both the Army and our team members. A mechanism like the SRPE that helps us give employees, lead- ers and future selection boards an honest, transparent and consistent idea of civilian employee potential is powerful.


While our organization’s No. 1 priority is effective program management, we cannot do that without effectively developing our people. Shaping our acquisition professionals—from early mentoring through senior-level assignments—is a serious responsibility we all share. Everyone has a stake in how we recruit, retain, motivate and develop talent across the Army Acquisition Workforce, and every employee, supervisor and leader plays an essential role in the process.


Of course, the SRPE isn’t magic. It is just a tool. What matters is how we use it: how we have meaningful conversations with our civilian employees and how we communicate about our employees. A good tool used poorly—be it an integrated master schedule, a spend plan or a SRPE—usually fails to do the job well. Just as there are recognized best ways to use the tools of acquisition, so, too, must there be best ways to develop our people.


A CONTINUING CONVERSATION At the Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CS&CSS), I’ve challenged our human capital team and all of our senior leaders to take SRPEs very seriously in two ways.
