PEO-T Leaderships Implements Robust Communication with the Fleet |
|
| Written by Denise Deon Wilson NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND - Fleet empathy, understanding and robust communication were words that resonated throughout the recent offsite attended by leadership within the Program Executive Officer for Tactical Aircraft (PEO-T). Led by Rear Admiral James B. Godwin, III, PEO-T, and Mrs. Steffanie Easter, Deputy PEO-T, program managers, their deputies, and PEO-T staff met to tackle the conference theme of enhancing their focus on the Fleet. Television images of DOD forces liberating Iraq served as a vivid reminder and an inspiration to the attendees. Feedback surveyed from PEO-T Fleet customers prior to the offsite set the tone for effort to be done. The message from the fleet was unmistakable, 'we need more communication from NAVAIR' and 'talk to me' was heard loud and clear. Jumping in to the task at hand, 39 PEO-T attendees brainstormed several hundred ideas on possible fleet focus improvements. Grouping the ideas into categories, the team split up to divide and conquer the undertaking. By the conclusion of the offsite, the teams each come up with objectives, a plan of action and metrics to track their progress. Challenging the teams to be timely, Radm Godwin persuaded them to go after 'low-hanging-fruit' in parallel with their plan of action. Many of the action items required accomplishments to be completed within days of the conferences conclusion. Positive Fleet feedback will be the ultimate indicator of the success of the PEO-T effort but judging from the enthusiasm and ideas generated for the offsite, success is just around the corner. NAVAIR provides advanced warfare technology through the efforts of a seamless, integrated, worldwide network of aviation technology experts. From professional training to carrier launch; from sensor data to precision targeting; from aircraft and weapons development to successful deployment; from real-time communication to aircraft recovery NAVAIR provides dominant combat effects and matchless capabilities to the American warfighter.
