Crowdsource Topic #1: Officer Evaluation Categories

  

Officer Evaluation Categories

 

Step 1: Submit the top five (5) traits you believe would allow us to evaluate an officer effectively.

 Sep 2: Assign a percentage weight to each one of these traits. The total weighted percentage of all five (5) categories should equal 100%.

 

Make sure to ask the following questions:

• What actually matters when evaluating an officer?
• Can these traits be applied equally across all functional areas?
• Why does this trait matter to me?
• Why should this trait matter to the Air Force?

Comments should follow the format below:

 

1. [Trait 1] / [%]

2. [Trait 2] / [%]

3. [Trait 3] / [%]

4. [Trait 4] / [%]

5. [Trait 5] / [%]

COA Development: Overly Complex

COG #1: Overly Complex--The OES is overly complex and time consuming.

How do we fix this?

Teams that bring completed COAs across the line (validated by ST) will receive 1 point 

Submit your ideas here. Ideas can be anything however fully flushed out ideas will contain:

COA Title:

- What is the banner that your team will rally behind

Objectives:

- What is your COA trying to accomplish? Use action verbs.

Desired Effects:

 - State how this COA will positively impact the Officer Evaluation System.

Milestones:

- Red: What we need to do right now: 1/3 of the COA has been accomplished

- Yellow: The next major step: 1/3 and 2/3 of COA have been accomplished

- Green: How do we sustain measure success: >2/3 of COA accomplished

Please label your posts to avoid confusion 

i.e. The Title of the COA is ... The Objective of this COA is ... 

Each team MUST identify at least 3 implications for executing their COA.

Gold Gear is the COA, the Gears coming off are Implications

• Achieve 5 validated effects from each implication all those who contributed will receive an extra point.

COA Development: Ineffective Feedback

COG #2: Ineffective Feedback--The current feedback system is inconsistent, subjective, immeasurable, does not provide a mechanism to accurately translate assessments into the OES, and has a poor culture of accountability.

COA Development: Too Subjective

COG #3: Too Subjective--The problem with the OES is that the current system relies too heavily on skewed qualitative data leading to bias, inflation, and an inaccurate depiction of an Airmen's performance.

COG Development: Overly Complex

Here is a COG identified through the Problem BrainStorm needing support

Individuals that provide facts will earn points if a COG is validated by Steering Team. 

COG: The OES is overly complex and time consuming.

COG: The problem with the OES is that the current system relies too heavily on skewed qualitative data leading to bias, inflation, and an inaccurate depiction of an Airmen's performance.



PROVIDE EVIDENCE

Stage 1: COMPLETE

Welcome to the first stage: The problem with the OES is multi-faceted. 
In order to attack this problem let's identify the Centers of Gravity (COGs).

Reply to this post with your "Gut Feel" of the problem. Recommend < 150 words in your reply.

• Think Twitter ... summarize your Think Tank Application into a BLUF
• BLUF = TAG LINE + few lines that summarize the problem. 

Goal is to create "Tag Words" that can be used to develop COGs.

• Example of "Tag Words" used in previous Think Tanks included: 
• Religion, Asymmetric, Women, ISIL, Education, Humanitarian, Social_Media, etc.  

*If using phrases words should be connected by underscore i.e. SOCIAL_MEDIA

• Idea is to use rapid brainstorming to create a Word Cloud that reveals trending words/phrases.
• Tag'd Words that trend will be used to ID COGs and points will be awarded to the team.

Stage 4: Campaign Planning

The goal in this stage is to Create LOEs with Milestones from COAs

Each COA should contain: Title/Objective/Desired Effect/Milestones

Link to Validated COAs

Example COA

Title: Include 360 degree evaluation as part of OES

Obj: Peer feedback becomes an evaluation criteria in the OES

DE: Peer feedback enables senior leader to the actual leadership effectiveness of an officer.

MS1: Develop Likert Scale and Weight Criteria & Identify Platform
MS2: Create Education Plan and commit 1 Year to Educate Airmen on use
MS3: 1 Year of Non-Attributional Use followed by Attributional Use and track promotion statistics

You will have multiple COAs. Read the Objectives of each COA. Group COAs into Major Objectives and then identify the Line of Effort i.e. Education that unifies groups of Major Objectives. 

Example Campaign Plan

Example LOE 1

LOE 1: Leadership Development  

Objective 1.1: Educate Senior Leaders on providing Initial/Midterm/Final Feedback

• Milestones 1/2/3/4/5 (Determined by ST)---> (Multiple COAs that fit this broad objective)

Objective 1.2: Create Collaboration Initiatives 

• Milestones 1/2/3/4/5 ---> Multi COAs

Objective 1.3: More Comprehensive Evaluation Metrics

• Milestones 1/2/3/4/5 ---> Multi COAs (360 Degree Feedback)

End State: Explain what you will accomplish by executing LOE 1 successfully.

Stage 5: D-Day

Week 5 is the Deliverable. Slides should be updated with all hyperlinks and those that are presenting should know who they are.
