(Last Modified:07-Apr-2016)

Description

The Executive Refresher Course provides senior acquisition professionals, from all career fields, an update on DoD acquisition policy, processes, and lessons learned. The ultimate goal is for participants to synthesize classroom information and define their roles and responsibilities as acquisition leaders. Participants hone their expertise through the use of DoD, congressional, GAO, and Industry guest speaker led discussions on acquisition updates. Sessions also include specific career field updates provided by DAU instructors, in the areas such as financial management, systems engineering, contracting, logistics, and test and evaluation. Learners will also participate in specific group led discussions on contemporary management and leadership topics, such as partnering with industry, risk management, human capital management, earned value oversight, time management, and leading change.

Interactions with senior DoD and industry leaders throughout the course facilitate networking and viewing the acquisition process from various perspectives. Lessons and/or one-on-one instruction are provided and specifically tailored for the students' learning needs with updates incorporated for each offering based on law, policy, process, or practice changes. Students must successfully complete a Leadership/Management Project by the conclusion of the course.
