Abstract:

Critical to thriving in the dynamic world facing the Army Corps of Engineers USACE in the future is adopting an agile, competitive concept of operating the organization. Current USACE performance is used as an indicator and catalyst to initiate transformation from a Good to a Great organization. This paper explores the potential of implementing a second network operating system that creates urgency and harnesses the power and innovation of a volunteer force that performs strategy maintenance and implementation. Exploring resources, research, and analysis from the private sector, there are talent management tactics, techniques, and procedures, which can effectively and efficiently reshape the USACE workforce. USACE has the potential to achieve prominence as an exemplar to other entities. This is achievable through the establishment of synergy between their hierarchical operating system and the integration of a complementary second operating system that accelerates the organization s strategic goals.
