(U//FOUO) Letter to the Editor: People-Related Initiatives Underway
in A&P
FROM: SIGINT Communications

FROM: SIGINT Communications
(U//FOUO) We received the following feedback on the article People-Related Initiatives
Underway in A&P :
(U//FOUO) I was pleased to see an article coming from Mr. Allen's level that focused on people.
My role as a Knowledge Transfer Strategist in S01P, the SIGINT People Office, is to help
organizations develop strategies and tools that will allow them to share critical mission
knowledge with one another.
(U//FOUO) My hope is that with efforts like a Career Development Board, we're not only
concentrating on GG15s, but also the new hires and mid-career personnel. Those are the groups
that appear to be struggling the most.
(U//FOUO) I have sent a Knowledge Transfer strategy to the Bubble [deputy directorate] COSs
for their input. My fear is that if we don't begin concentrating on a mechanism for ensuring
people are passing on what they know, even more critical mission knowledge will be lost than
we've experienced over the last decade. I'm hoping that some type of knowledge-sharing
activity can be embedded in the performance objectives of all employees, and make them very
specific. Some examples could include mentoring, OJT, internal networks, documenting
processes and lessons learned, updating webpages or learning portals, etc. I firmly believe that
everyone has something to contribute.
(U//FOUO) I would be more than happy to talk to any personnel who might be interested about
Knowledge Transfer and how some aspects can be accomplished even without investing a large
amount of money.
Respectfully,
S01P
Knowledge Transfer Strategist
